Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, heat sesame oil and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Simmer the Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, miso paste, rice vinegar, and chili flakes (if using). Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Cook the Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  5. Assemble the Ramen: Add the baby spinach to the broth and let it wilt slightly. Divide the cooked noodles between serving bowls and ladle the hot broth and mushrooms over them.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Top with green onions, a soft-boiled egg (if using), sesame seeds, and nori strips. Serve hot and enjoy!

FAQs:

Can I use different types of mushrooms?
Yes! Shiitake, cremini, or even portobello mushrooms all work well in this recipe.

Can I make this recipe vegan?
Absolutely! Just omit the egg and ensure your miso paste is vegan.

How can I make this spicier?
Add more chili flakes, a drizzle of sriracha, or a spoonful of chili oil for extra heat.

Can I store leftovers?
The broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the noodles separate to prevent them from getting too soft.
