Method
- Heat bone broth in a large pot over medium heat until simmering (or if making from scratch, combine water, bones, and dried shiitake mushrooms, bring to boil, then reduce to simmer for 4-6 hours).
- Prepare soft-boiled eggs by boiling for 6-7 minutes, then immediately transfer to ice bath. Once cooled, peel and set aside.
- Heat oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add your protein choice and cook until golden and cooked through (chicken: 6-8 minutes, pork: 8-10 minutes, tofu: 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- Bring a separate large pot of water to rolling boil for noodles.
- Add fresh ramen noodles and edamame (if using) to boiling water. Cook according to package directions (usually 3-4 minutes), stirring gently. Drain when done.
- Ladle hot broth into serving bowls. Whisk in soy sauce and miso paste to taste, adjusting for saltiness and depth of flavor.
- Divide cooked noodles and edamame between broth-filled bowls.
- Arrange sliced protein on one side of each bowl. Add halved soft-boiled eggs, bok choy, julienned carrots, and sliced green onions.
- Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with seaweed sheets, sesame seeds, and chili oil if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Temperature control is key - use gentle heat to avoid burning aromatics. Store broth separately from noodles for best leftover quality. Bone broth can be frozen in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Marinate protein in soy sauce and ginger for 30 minutes before cooking for extra flavor.
