Follow these easy steps to create your delectable homemade ramen:

1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine the chicken or beef broth and water. Add soy sauce, miso paste, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Simmer: Allow the broth to simmer for about 30 minutes. This process helps the flavors meld beautifully. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the Noodles: While the broth simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to package directions. If using fresh noodles, this usually takes around 4 minutes until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
4. Prepare Toppings: While your broth and noodles are cooking, prepare your toppings. Soft-boil eggs by boiling them for 6-7 minutes, then place them in ice water for easy peeling. Slice your protein of choice and sauté any vegetables.
5. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, or individual ramen bowls, first add the cooked noodles.
6. Add Broth: Pour the hot broth over the noodles generously.
7. Top It Off: Arrange your desired toppings artfully over the noodles: sliced soft-boiled eggs, sautéed greens, green onions, mushrooms, corn, and your protein choice.
8. Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of nori sheets and a drizzle of chili oil if desired.
9. Serve Hot: Serve immediately and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
