👨🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation
1️⃣ Build the Broth
In a pot over medium heat, sauté garlic and ginger in sesame oil until fragrant.
Add stock and water, then stir in soy sauce and miso paste. Simmer for 10–15 minutes for maximum depth of flavor.
2️⃣ Cook the Ramen Noodles
Boil noodles separately according to package instructions (usually 3–4 minutes).
Drain and set aside. Do not overcook — texture matters for authentic ramen!
3️⃣ Prepare the Perfect Soft-Boiled Egg
Boil eggs for exactly 6–7 minutes.
Transfer to ice water, peel carefully, and slice in half for that viral jammy yolk look.
4️⃣ Assemble Your Bowl
Place noodles in a deep bowl.
Pour hot broth over them.
Arrange toppings neatly for a restaurant-style presentation.
Finish with green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil.
