Instructions

Step 1: Bring 4 large eggs to a boil in a medium saucepan. Lower heat to maintain a gentle boil and cook for exactly 7 minutes for soft-boiled yolks. Transfer eggs to ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and set aside.
Step 2: In a large pot over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3: Pour in 6 cups vegetable broth, then whisk in 3 tbsp white miso paste and 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter until smooth and combined. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 4: Add 2 tbsp soy sauce and season with salt to taste. Simmer the broth for 5 minutes to develop flavors.
Step 5: Meanwhile, cook 8 oz ramen noodles according to package instructions until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and divide noodles into 4 bowls.
Step 6: Divide 2 cups baby spinach and 1 large julienned carrot evenly among bowls. Ladle hot miso-peanut broth over noodles and vegetables.
Step 7: Halve the peeled eggs and place halves atop each bowl. Garnish with 3 sliced green onions, 1 tsp red chili flakes if using, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
