A quick and comforting ramen dish featuring a silky miso butter broth, tender noodles, and perfectly soft-boiled eggs with jammy yolks. Ideal for cozy dinners and easy weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (fresh or instant, about 6 oz total)
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional toppings: toasted sesame seeds, chili flakes, nori strips, sautéed mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower in 4 large eggs with a slotted spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for jammy yolks.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking. Let cool for 5 minutes, then peel gently under running water.
  3. In a small saucepan, warm 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth over medium heat. Add minced garlic and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons white miso paste with 3 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Slowly whisk the miso butter mixture into the simmering broth, stirring steadily until the butter melts and the broth turns creamy.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil to the broth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Keep warm on low heat.
  7. In a separate pot, boil ramen noodles according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes). Drain and divide noodles into serving bowls.
  8. Ladle the creamy miso butter broth over the noodles. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and optional toppings like toasted sesame seeds or chili flakes.
  10. Serve immediately. Optionally, add a small pat of butter on top for extra richness.

Notes

Do not boil miso directly to avoid bitterness; dissolve it in warm broth off heat or on very low heat. Use unsalted butter at room temperature for smooth blending. Boil eggs exactly 6 minutes for perfect jammy yolks and use an ice bath immediately after boiling. Fresh ramen noodles provide better texture but instant noodles work fine. Keep broth and noodles separate if storing leftovers to avoid sogginess.
