Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you need to whip up this delicious bowl of ramen:

For the Broth and Base:

  • Protein: 8 oz. ground chicken or pork (or go vegetarian with crumbled tempeh or tofu).
  • Oil: 2 Tbsp. neutral cooking oil (like canola or avocado oil).
  • Veggies: 6 to 8 oz. thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms (stems removed), ½ cup minced shallots, 4 garlic cloves (minced), and 1 Tbsp. freshly grated ginger.
  • Flavor Boosters: 3 Tbsp. white miso paste, 2 Tbsp. lower-sodium soy sauce, 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar, and 1 Tbsp. hot chili oil.
  • Broth: 6 to 8 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth.

For the Noodles and Toppings:

  • Noodles: 2 packs of dry ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packs) or substitute with soba noodles or gluten-free varieties like brown rice & millet ramen.
  • Corn: 1 cup sweet corn (frozen/thawed, canned, or fresh).
  • Eggs: 3 soft-boiled eggs, halved.
  • Garnishes: Thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

How to Make Spicy Miso Ramen

Step 1: Cook the Protein

Start by heating a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease the pan and add your ground chicken or pork (or vegetarian alternative). Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break the meat into small crumbles. Once fully cooked, transfer the meat to a bowl and set it aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Veggies

In the same pot, add your neutral cooking oil along with the sliced shiitake mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender. Next, stir in the minced shallots, garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Allow everything to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3: Build the Broth

Now it’s time to infuse those bold flavors into the broth! Stir in the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hot chili oil until well combined. Add 6 cups of low-sodium broth (or up to 8 cups if you prefer a brothier ramen) and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it gently simmer for about 20 minutes. This step allows all the flavors to meld beautifully.

Step 4: Cook the Noodles

Bring the broth back to a boil and add your ramen noodles. Cook according to the package instructions (usually around 3 minutes) until the noodles are al dente. Stir in the cooked meat and sweet corn to warm them through.

Step 5: Assemble Your Bowls

Ladle the hot ramen into bowls and top each serving with half a soft-boiled egg, a handful of sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. For an extra kick of heat, drizzle some additional chili oil on top.

How to Make Perfect Soft-Boiled Eggs

No bowl of ramen is complete without that luscious soft-boiled egg! Here’s how to nail it every time:

  1. Let your eggs come close to room temperature by either leaving them on the counter for an hour or running them under warm water.
  2. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
  3. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon. Set a timer for exactly 6 minutes.
  4. When the timer goes off, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
  5. Once cooled, gently peel off the shells, slice the eggs in half, and place them on top of your ramen.

Tips for Success

  • Adjusting Spice Levels: If you’re not a fan of too much heat, start with just ½ Tbsp. of chili oil and add more to taste.
  • Vegetarian Option: Swap out ground chicken or pork for crumbled tempeh or tofu. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Make It Gluten-Free: Opt for gluten-free noodles like soba or brown rice & millet ramen. Also, double-check that your soy sauce is gluten-free (or use tamari as an alternative).
  • Storage Tips: Store leftover broth and noodles separately to keep them from getting soggy. Reheat gently on the stove before serving.
