Spicy Miso Ramen Broth
- 3 tablespoons miso paste

- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 shallot minced
- 1/4 lb ground pork
- 2 cups chicken stock I used reduced sodium
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 green onions
- salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 soft-boiled eggs* See how to make them in the notes
- chopped green onions
Instructions
Make Spicy Miso Broth
- Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic, ginger, and shallot, and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add ground pork, and stir-fry until no longer pink.
- Add chili bean paste and miso paste. Stir fry with the meat.
- Add chicken stock, soy sauce, and green onions.
- Cover and bring to a boil. Remove the lid, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. (While you are waiting, you can make ramen noodles.)
- Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste. You can add more chili bean paste if you’d like your soup to be extra spicy. Stir lightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook Ramen Noodles
- Cook ramen noodles al dente according to the instructions on the package.
- When the noodles are cooked, drain completely and divide the noodles into 2 bowls.
Add Toppings
- Pour the ramen soup on top of the noodles, and add toppings such as soft-boiled eggs and green onions. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can add more red chili paste to the broth if you’d like to add more heat to your dish.
- Season with salt and pepper AFTER simmering so that your broth won’t be too salty.
- *To make soft-boiled eggs: Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Gently lower cold-from-the-fridge eggs into the water. Simmer for 7 ½ minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle boil. Transfer the cooked eggs to iced water and chill for 3 minutes. Crack the eggs all over, peel the shell and slice in half lengthwise.
