Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) ramen noodles, fresh or dried
  • 4 cups (960 ml) vegetable or chicken broth, low-sodium recommended
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup sliced shiitake or cremini mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or bok choy, roughly chopped
  • 1 soft boiled egg per bowl (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Aromatics (5 minutes): Mince garlic and ginger finely. Slice green onions and mushrooms, and chop spinach or bok choy.
  2. SautΓ© Aromatics (5 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in your pot over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant (about 1 minute). Toss in mushrooms and cook until softened, around 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Broth and Coconut Milk (5 minutes): Pour in vegetable or chicken broth and coconut milk. Stir in miso paste until fully dissolved. Bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Add Noodles (3-5 minutes): Add ramen noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent clumping.
  5. Add Greens and Seasoning (2 minutes): Toss in spinach or bok choy and soy sauce. Cook until greens are just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Taste broth; adjust saltiness with more soy sauce if needed.
  6. Finish with Sesame Oil and Green Onions (1 minute): Remove pot from heat. Stir in sesame oil for that toasty finish. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top.
  7. Optional Soft-Boiled Eggs: While the soup simmers, prepare soft-boiled eggs by boiling for 6 minutes, then peeling carefully. Halve and add to bowl before serving.

Notes

Do not boil miso paste to preserve probiotics and flavor; add it after broth and coconut milk are heated off high heat. Keep noodles al dente to avoid mushiness. Soft-boiled eggs add richness and texture. Use tamari and gluten-free noodles for gluten-free version. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days; reheat gently with extra broth to loosen noodles.
