  • 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon Chili Garlic Sauce (Sriracha or Gochujang)
  • 2 cups Hot Water
  • 1 tablespoon Green Onions, sliced
  • to taste Optional toppings: Soft boiled egg, nori seaweed, bean sprouts

Prepare the Broth

In a bowl, combine the miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce. Mix well to form a paste.

Cook the Noodles

Cook the instant ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Usually, this involves boiling water and adding the noodles. Discard or reserve the seasoning packet that comes with the instant ramen (depending on if you want more sodium or more flavor).

Combine and Simmer

Once the noodles are cooked, drain most of the water, leaving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water in the pot with the noodles.

Mix

Add the miso paste mixture to the noodles and remaining water. Stir well to combine and dissolve the miso paste. Simmer for about 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Garnish and Serve

Pour the ramen into a bowl. Garnish with sliced green onions. Add any other toppings you like, such as a soft-boiled egg, nori seaweed, or bean sprouts. Serve immediately and enjoy!
