Ingredients

  • 2 tbs sesame oil
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 inch piece of garlic minced
  • 1 lb ground pork or vegetarian protein of choice
  • 3 tbs low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup red miso paste
  • 1-2 tbs red chili paste
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes if desired
  • 1 tbs apple cider vinegar if desired; it adds sweetness
  • 5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 packs of dried ramen noodles
  • 1 bunch of bok choy cut into 4 pieces
  • 3-4 eggs
  • Sesame seeds red pepper flakes, and green onions to garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat, and add garlic and ginger for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Add pork and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned all over. Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil for your eggs.
  2. Add miso, soy sauce, chili paste, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using) and stir into pork.
  3. Add your stock, and bring to a boil.
  4. Meanwhile, gently place your eggs in the boiling water (I use tongs) and boil for 6 minutes. When the time is up, immediately place them into ice water to stop them from becoming hard boiled.
  5. While the eggs are still cooking, add your ramen noodles to the boiling soup. Cook them accoring to the package (usually 4-5 minutes).
  6. Add the bok choy during the last 30 seconds of cooking.
  7. Serve in big soup bowls topped with the eggs (sliced in half), green onions, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and garlic chili sauce if desired. Enjoy!!
