Miso Vegetable Ramen Bowl
Ingredients : 2 large eggs 2 Tbsp ( 25 mL ) sesame oil ½ medium onion , chopped 1-inch ( 2.5 cm ) piece of ginger , finely chopped 1 clove of garlic , minced 3 Tbsp ( 45 mL ) low-sodium soy sauce 4 cups ( 1L ) vegetable broth 2 Tbsp ( 25 mL ) miso paste 2 cups ( 500 mL ) fresh shiitake mushrooms , stems removed and sliced * 1 large carrot , thinly sliced 1 sweet pepper , chopped 1 cup ( 250 mL ) baby bok choy , chopped 3 to 4 green onions , sliced diagonally
( reserve garnish ) 3 ounce ( 100g ) packaged ramen noodles Toasted sesame seeds , garnish
Directions :
1 . Place eggs in a single layer in a small pot and cover eggs with cold water . Over high heat , bring eggs to a rolling boil . Turn off heat and cover pot with a lid , let stand in water for 10 minutes for hard-cooked or 6 minutes for soft-cooked large eggs . Drain water and immediately place eggs into an ice bath . Rapid cooling will prevent a grey-green ring from forming around the yolks . Peel eggs and slice lengthwise in halves .

3 . Add garlic and stir frequently for 1 minute . Whisk in soy sauce , broth , and miso paste .
4 . Add mushrooms and carrots and bring stock liquid to a boil ; reduce heat to a simmer .
5 . Add peppers , green onion and baby bok choy . Simmer 5-8 minutes until tender .
6 . Taste test the broth and add salt to taste if required ( soy sauce , broth and miso paste will add sodium to this stock ).
7 . Remove soup from the heat and add ramen noodles . Allow to soften .
8 . Divide soup into bowls and serve topped with cooked eggs . 9 . Garnish with green onion and toasted sesame seeds .
Serves : 2-4 * Substitute for white or brown button mushrooms
