Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring 4 cups vegetable broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp natural peanut butter, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves until smooth and heated through but not boiling.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to boil and gently add 2 eggs. Boil for exactly 7 minutes for soft yolks, then transfer to ice water to cool before peeling.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 oz ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 2 cups baby spinach and 1 medium julienned carrot, cooking for 1 more minute until greens are wilted.
  5. Step 5: Divide the broth, noodles, and vegetables between two bowls. Peel and halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top.
  6. Step 6: Garnish each bowl with 2 sliced scallions, 1 tsp sesame seeds, and drizzle with sriracha sauce if desired for heat.
