Spicy Miso-Tahini Ramen image

This super-oishii (“delicious”) spicy ramen bowl is made with basic pantry staples, such as miso paste and tahini, plus Sriracha for spice! I love adding a bit more Sriracha for heat, and topping it all off with a slightly runny soft-boiled egg.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Soup:
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons mirin
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
8 cups purified water
2 cups thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms
2 tablespoons Japanese chili paste or Sriracha sauce
1/2 cup organic red miso paste
2 (10-ounce) packages fresh ramen noodles (look for Sun Noodle brand)
1/4 cup tahini paste or neri goma
Fresh toppings:
2 cups baby spinach
Chili oil, for drizzling (optional)
2 green onions, thinly sliced on the bias
Togarashi, for sprinkling (optional)
2 soft-boiled eggs, sliced in half (optional)
Nori, cut into small rectangular pieces, for dipping (optional)
1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or stockpot, warm the toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fragrant and translucent. Add 1 cup of the mushrooms and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Add the miso paste and tahini and stir to coat the onion and mush­rooms. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Watch your heat carefully and reduce to medium-low, if needed, or the soup can “break” or separate. Pour in the mirin and deglaze the pan. Pour in the water and stir well to dissolve all the miso paste.
  • Bring the soup up to a light simmer over high heat and whisk in the chili paste or Sriracha sauce; start with 2 tablespoons to be safe, then add more as desired, and mix well to dissolve. Reduce the heat to medium-high.
  • In a separate medium saucepan, bring some water to a boil. Add the ra­men noodles, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Using tongs, remove the noodles from the boiling water or drain the noodles in a colander.
  • Divide the noodles among four bowls. Add the spinach and green onions to each bowl. Top each bowl equally with the reserved 1 cup mushrooms, the egg, avocado, chili oil, togarashi, and nori as desired, ladle broth over, and serve.

Yum! I love the combination of spicy and nutty flavors in this ramen. The miso and tahini make a really rich and creamy broth.

This ramen recipe was a hit! The spicy miso tahini broth was flavorful and complex, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I added some extra vegetables, like baby bok choy and carrots, to make it even more nutritious.
