Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large pot. Add in the shiitake mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Transfer mushrooms onto a plate, cover with aluminum foil (to keep them warm), and set aside. Do not wash the pot.

- Meanwhile, place miso paste into a bowl. Ladle ½ cup of the boiling liquid and whisk until miso is completely dissolved. Add the mixture back into the pot along with tamari (or soy sauce) and sesame oil.
- To cook the eggs and noodles: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Lower eggs into the pot and cook them for 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon remove them from the pot and place them into a bowl of ice water and set aside.
- Bring the water back to a boil.
- Add the noodles and bok choy and cook them until they are al-dente and bok choy turned bright green (and softened), 3-4 minutes. Drain.
- In the meantime, peel the eggs and halve them lengthwise.
- To assemble: Place noodles and bok choy in a bowl, pour some miso stock over it and top it off with shiitake mushrooms and eggs. Garnish with the reserved green parts of the scallions and sesame seeds.
