Miso Ramen with Tofu
with bok choy / soft boiled eggs
This fragrant ramen broth is extra flavorful thanks to a gingery seasoning base. To make this soup truly authentic, top it with soft boiled eggs and eat it with a deep spoon and chopsticks! We first featured a version of this meal in 2016.

Make
-
Bring a small saucepan of water to a low boil. Add eggs to boiling water and boil for exactly 7 minutes (this will yield cooked whites and runny yolks, so boil a minute less or more if you like your eggs cooked differently). Transfer eggs to a colander and run under cool tap water. Set aside until cool enough to peel.
-
Meanwhile, heat a Dutch oven or wok with a lid over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. When oil begins to shimmer, add white parts of green onions and bok choy stems. Saute until slightly softened, ~2 minutes.
-
Add garlic and mushrooms and saute until fragrant, ~2 minutes. Pour in seasoning base and stock and stir to combine.
-
Cover and bring to a boil. Add bok choy leaves and reduce heat to a low simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Add tofu and noodles to soup and simmer just until heated through.
-
Peel eggs (hold the eggs under cool running water to help remove the peel if needed) and slice in half. Season yolks with a pinch of salt.
-
Ladle soup into bowls and top with green parts of green onions and eggs. Squeeze lime wedges over soup just before serving. Enjoy!
