Ingredient Breakdown

• Garlic and ginger: Add aromatic warmth.
• Chili paste or chili oil: Provides heat and color. Adjust to taste.
• Soy sauce: Adds umami and saltiness.
• Sesame oil: Nutty richness that enhances the broth.
• Mushrooms: Add texture and earthiness. Shiitake or cremini work best.
• Chicken or vegetable broth: The soup base. Choose low-sodium for control.
• Heavy cream or coconut milk: Creates a creamy, velvety finish.
• Green onions: Add freshness and crunch.
• Soft-boiled eggs: A classic ramen topping that adds protein and creaminess.

Optional Add-ins:

• Tofu or chicken for extra protein.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the eggs
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Add eggs and cook for 6½ minutes for soft centers. Transfer to ice water, peel, and set aside.

2. Sauté aromatics
In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and mushrooms. Cook until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3–4 minutes.

3. Build the broth
Stir in miso paste, soy sauce, and chili paste. Gradually add broth while whisking to dissolve the miso. Bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Make it creamy
Stir in heavy cream (or coconut milk) and taste for seasoning. Simmer gently for 10–15 minutes to let flavors meld.

5. Cook the noodles
Add ramen noodles to the broth and cook until tender, about 3–4 minutes.

6. Assemble and serve
Divide noodles and broth into bowls. Top each with mushrooms, halved soft-boiled eggs, green onions, and a drizzle of chili oil.

Notes and Top Tips

• For vegan ramen, use vegetable broth and coconut milk, and skip the eggs.
• Do not boil after adding cream; keep the heat low.
• Use a mix of mushrooms for the best flavor.
• If the broth thickens too much, add a splash of broth to loosen.
• Store leftovers without noodles (they absorb liquid) for up to 3 days.

Serving Suggestions and Variations

• Extra protein: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu cubes.
• Extra veggies: Stir in spinach, kale, or bean sprouts.
• Milder version: Reduce chili oil or skip chili paste.
• Crockpot adaptation: Combine all ingredients except noodles, eggs, and cream; cook 6 hours on low. Stir in cream and noodles before serving.

Storage and Reheating

• Refrigerate: Keep broth and noodles separate; refrigerate up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm gently on the stovetop. Add fresh noodles or eggs before serving.
• Freeze: Broth only (without noodles or eggs) up to 2 months.
