# Instructions:
01 -
Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Lower in the eggs and cook for 7 minutes, then transfer to ice water. Peel and halve before serving.
02 -
Heat the neutral oil in a wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in an even layer and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring only after they begin to brown.
03 -
Add the garlic, ginger, and white parts of the scallions. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often, until fragrant.
04 -
Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes so the mushrooms season the broth.
05 -
In a small bowl, whisk the miso with a ladle of hot broth until smooth. Reduce the heat to low and stir the miso mixture, rice vinegar, and sesame oil into the pot.
06 -
Add the ramen noodles and bok choy. Cook according to the noodle package, usually 3-4 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the bok choy is bright green.
07 -
Divide noodles, mushrooms, bok choy, and broth among 4 bowls. Top with jammy eggs, scallion greens, sesame seeds, chili crisp if using, and a small drizzle of sesame oil.
# Good to know:
01 -
Use low-sodium broth because miso and soy sauce add salt.
02 -
Store broth and noodles separately for the best leftovers.
