Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Optional Toppings

  • Soft-boiled eggs
  • Sweet corn kernels
  • Sautéed mushrooms
  • Grilled chicken, pork belly, or shrimp
  • Chili oil or togarashi powder for spice
  • Fresh cilantro, basil, or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth: Gently sauté minced garlic and ginger in a pot over medium heat until fragrant. Add the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the miso paste until fully dissolved, creating a rich, flavorful base.
  2. Cook the noodles: Boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse briefly with warm water to stop cooking. Keep warm.
  3. Melt in the butter: Add the butter directly into the miso broth, stirring until fully melted and integrated to create a silky, luscious broth.
  4. Combine noodles and broth: Place the cooked noodles in serving bowls and ladle the miso butter broth on top, ensuring the noodles are well coated.
  5. Garnish and serve: Top with sliced green onions and your choice of optional toppings such as soft-boiled eggs, corn, mushrooms, or protein for an appealing and delicious finish.

Notes

  • Use high-quality miso for deeper flavor.
  • Do not overcook noodles; al dente texture is best.
  • Temper miso by stirring into warm broth off the heat to preserve flavor.
  • Add butter gradually to balance creaminess.
  • Fresh toppings like green onions and grated ginger add contrast.
