Ingredients

Scale

Broth Ingredients

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 cup water (or 1 additional cup broth)
  • 1 1-inch-long piece fresh ginger (cut into 4 slices)
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled, smashed)
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon sambal oelek
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 dash rice wine vinegar

Noodles and Toppings

  • 2 blocks dried ramen noodles (or 2 servings fresh ramen noodles)
  • 2 large soft-boiled eggs (halved)
  • Thinly sliced scallions
  • Black sesame seeds (or shichimi togarashi)
  • ½ sheet nori (thinly sliced)
  • Chopped chicken (or shredded chicken, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth: Place a large saucepan on the stovetop over high heat. Add 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 1 cup water, ginger slices, smashed garlic, miso paste, sambal oelek, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a dash of rice wine vinegar. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  2. Simmer the broth: Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. After simmering, remove the ginger and garlic pieces using a slotted spoon.
  3. Cook the noodles: Add the dried ramen noodles to the broth and cook until they are soft and tender, following package instructions—typically 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer noodles to bowls: Using a slotted spoon, divide the cooked noodles evenly into serving bowls.
  5. Add broth to bowls: Pour the hot broth over the noodles in each bowl, ensuring an even distribution.
  6. Garnish and serve: Top the ramen with soft-boiled egg halves, thinly sliced scallions, black sesame seeds or shichimi togarashi, sliced nori, and optional chopped chicken. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
  • Adjust sambal oelek quantity to control spiciness.
  • You can use fresh ramen noodles for a different texture and shorter cooking time.
  • Soft-boiled eggs can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated.
  • For additional protein, add tofu or more chicken.
