Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons miso paste (white, red, or mixed)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 200 grams fresh or dried ramen noodles
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Optional Toppings

  • 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved
  • ½ cup corn kernels
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms
  • Nori sheets, thinly sliced
  • Chili oil or sriracha (for spice)
  • Spinach, bok choy, or bean sprouts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Heat the chicken or vegetable broth in a pot over medium heat. Add finely minced garlic and ginger, allowing them to simmer gently until fragrant to build a flavorful base.
  2. Dissolve Miso Paste: Ladle out some hot broth into a small bowl and whisk in the miso paste until smooth, then return the mixture back into the pot to avoid clumps and create a creamy soup.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, until tender but still springy. Drain and set aside.
  4. Add Butter and Soy Sauce: Stir in the butter and soy sauce into the simmering broth. Let the butter melt completely, infusing the soup with rich, savory flavor.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Place cooked noodles in serving bowls. Ladle the hot miso butter broth over the noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions and your choice of optional toppings like soft-boiled eggs, corn, mushrooms, or seaweed.

Notes

  • Use quality miso paste (white, red, or mixed) according to your preferred flavor profile.
  • Do not add miso directly to boiling water as it can kill delicate flavors; warm gently instead.
  • Start with a small amount of butter and adjust to your desired creaminess to avoid overpowering the broth.
  • Fresh ramen noodles absorb broth better and provide authentic texture.
  • Customize toppings such as soft-boiled eggs or corn for contrasting textures and visual appeal.
