3. Cook Vegetables and Noodles: Add mushrooms and bok choy; simmer 5 minutes until tender. Add ramen noodles and cook according to package directions (usually 3-4 minutes).

5. Serve: Ladle into bowls. Garnish with green onions and a soft-boiled egg (optional). Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for extra heat.

Cooking Notes

• Miso Paste: Fully dissolve for balanced flavor. Adjust other seasonings as needed, depending on miso saltiness.
• Noodle Choice: Fresh noodles are best, but instant work well (discard seasoning packet).
• Shrimp Cooking Time: Shrimp cooks quickly; add towards the end to keep them tender.

Variations

• Spicy: Add 1-2 teaspoons gochujang or sriracha.
• Vegetarian: Substitute shrimp with tofu and use vegetable broth. Add other veggies like bell peppers or spinach.
• Coconut: Replace 1 cup broth with coconut milk.

For a keto or low-carb version:
