Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Miso Ramen

  3. Mix in white miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hot chili oil until dissolved. Pour in broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes.
  4. Bring the broth back to a boil and add dry ramen noodles. Cook according to package instructions, about 3 minutes. Stir in cooked meat and sweet corn, mixing until heated through.
  5. Ladle ramen into bowls and top with soft-boiled eggs, green onions, and sesame seeds. Drizzle more hot chili oil if desired.
