Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons miso paste (white or red)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chili paste or Sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 4 ounces ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 7 ounces firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 or 2 small strips nori sheets (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional add-ins: ½ cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or cremini), 1 cup baby spinach or bok choy, fresh lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and placing a heavy object on top for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water.
  2. Soft boil the eggs by bringing a small pot of water to a gentle boil, lowering the eggs carefully, and cooking for exactly 6 minutes. Transfer immediately to an ice bath, then peel and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the sesame oil, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add vegetable broth, miso paste, soy sauce, and chili paste. Whisk until miso dissolves completely. Let simmer gently for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust spice or salt as needed.
  5. Cook the ramen noodles in a separate pot according to package instructions (3-4 minutes for fresh, 5-6 minutes for dried). Drain and rinse briefly under warm water to stop cooking.
  6. Cut pressed tofu into ¾-inch cubes. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil. Fry tofu cubes until all sides are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  7. Divide noodles between two bowls. Ladle hot broth over noodles. Halve soft boiled eggs and place on top along with crispy tofu cubes.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and nori strips. Add optional spinach or mushrooms if using. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Press tofu thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use a timer and ice bath for perfect soft boiled eggs. Adjust chili paste to control spice level. Warm bowls before serving to keep ramen hot longer. Store broth separately from noodles and tofu to prevent sogginess.
