30 Minute Easy Miso Ramen Recipe
Description
The 30 Minute Easy Miso Ramen recipe begins by frying garlic, ginger, and shallot in sesame oil until fragrant, then browning ground pork for depth. Chili bean paste and miso paste are stirred in, infusing the meat with savory spice. Adding chicken stock and soy sauce creates a rich broth base after simmering for 10 minutes. Green onions add mild sharpness.
Meanwhile, ramen noodles cook to al dente, then are cooled quickly to stop cooking and retain texture. The soup is poured over the noodles in bowls, topped with soft-boiled eggs cooked for exactly 7 ½ minutes for a tender yolk, plus optional seaweed and chopped green onions for garnish. The broth is slightly thick with spicy and umami flavors layered by the miso and chili bean paste.
This dish serves as a quick yet rich meal with comforting textures, ideal for anyone who enjoys a moderately spicy miso ramen. The soft-boiled egg adds protein and a velvety element that balances the savory broth. It also allows customization with other proteins like beef or chicken.
The notes offer tips to adjust spice level, freeze leftovers for up to 3 months, and instructions for making perfect soft-boiled eggs. Seasoning the broth only after simmering prevents oversalting. This recipe balances practical cooking with flavorful results within a half-hour.
Ingredients
- 2 packages ramen noodles I use fresh ramen, but you can use dried ramen noodles
Spicy Miso Raman Broth

- 2 teaspoons chili bean paste or doubanjang, or Korean gochujang. Add more for a more spicy soup, and omit this ingredient for a non-spicy version
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons ginger freshly grated
- 1 shallot minced, or 2 tablespoons of regular onions chopped
- 1/4 lb ground pork
- 2 cups chicken stock I used reduced sodium
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce low-sodium
- 2 green onions
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Toppings

Instructions
- Make Spicy Miso Broth: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic, ginger, and shallot, and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add ground pork, and stir-fry until no longer pink.
- Add chili bean paste and miso paste. Stir fry with the meat.
- Add chicken stock, soy sauce, and green onions.
- Cover and bring to a boil. Remove the lid, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. (While you are waiting, you can make ramen noodles.)
- Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste. You can add more chili bean paste if you’d like your soup to be extra spicy. Stir lightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook ramen noodles to al dente according to the instructions on the package.
- After the noodles are cooked, shock it with cold water to stop cooking. Drain completely and divide the noodles into 2 bowls.
- Assemble the ramen: Pour the ramen soup on top of the noodles, and add toppings such as soft-boiled eggs, nori seaweed, and green onions. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust chili bean paste to control spiciness, adding more for extra heat or omitting for mild flavor.
- Cook soft-boiled eggs by simmering cold eggs for 7½ minutes, then chilling in ice water for precise texture.
- Freeze cooked ramen broth and components for up to 3 months; reheat without thawing in about 5 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper after simmering to avoid over-seasoning the broth.
- Try other proteins like ground beef or chicken to vary the dish.
