Japanese Spicy Miso Ramen Recipe

Directions

Make Miso Paste

1. In a medium bowl, mix together miso, garlic, and 3 Tbsp. of water.

(Optional) Protein & Veggies

1. Use 1 Tbsp. of the miso paste as a seasoning for your protein. Fully cook your protein, thinly slice, and keep warm.
2. If adding spinach or mushrooms, sautee during this step and keep warm.

Make Miso Broth

1. Fill a medium pot 3/4 full of water, cover, and bring to a boil.
2. In a separate large stock pot, warm half of the sesame oil on medium heat. Add the miso paste from step 1 and saute for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add 8 cups of water and broth packets. Bring stock to a boil on high heat and then lower heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes.

(Optional) Cook Eggs

1. Gently lower eggs into the medium pot of boiling water from step 3 and boil for 8-10 minutes (8 for soft, 10 for hard-boiled). Prepare an ice bath for the eggs by adding 1/2 ice and 1/2 cold water to a medium bowl. Important: keep the boiling water for step 5!
2. When the eggs are done, place them in the ice bath for 2-3 minutes. Peel the eggs by cracking on a hard surface and rolling until shell becomes loose. Remove the shells and keep warm.

Cook Noodles

1. Add the ramen noodles to the medium pot of boiling water from step 3 and cook for 3-4 minutes.
2. Drain using a colander and rinse the noodles under warm water. Tip: toss noodles in a little oil to prevent them from sticking.

Plate & Serve!

1. Divide cooked noodles between large soup bowls, ladle the miso broth over the noodles, and add your favorite toppings: menma (seasoned bamboo), green onions, nori (seaweed), sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce (spicy)!
2. (Optional) serve with halved boiled eggs, prepared protein, and/or sauteed spinach and mushrooms.
