Ingredients

For the Broth:

  • 6 cups dashi stock (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup miso paste, white or red depending on your preference
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

For the Toppings:

  • 4 servings ramen noodles
  • 4 soft-boiled eggs
  • Thinly sliced green onions
  • Nori sheets (seaweed), cut into strips
  • Sliced mushrooms, optional
  • Bamboo shoots or corn, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot over medium heat, combine dashi stock with soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  2. Add Miso Paste: Reduce the heat to low. Gradually whisk in miso paste until fully dissolved, ensuring not to boil the broth as it can affect the flavor.

  3. Cook Noodles Separately: In another pot of boiling water, cook ramen noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  4. Prepare Soft-Boiled Eggs: Bring a small saucepan of water to a simmer. Gently lower eggs into the water using a spoon. Cook for 6 minutes for a runny yolk or 7 minutes for a firmer texture. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking and peel once cooled.

  5. Assemble the Ramen: Divide cooked noodles among four bowls. Ladle hot miso broth over noodles.

  6. Add Toppings: Top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg, sliced green onions, nori strips, and any additional toppings like mushrooms or bamboo shoots if using.
