Miso Ramen with Soft-Boiled Egg recipe

I love ramen! No, seriously, even on a hot day! Even better when you make it yourself! Don't worry, you won't need to actually make the noodles for this ramen but you do need to make the broth. Here is the recipe, it's enough for 3 ramen servings! You're welcome.

You can play around with the toppings. Check out the 3 versions I made below.

Miso Ramen with Soft-Boiled Egg
For the Egg
ingredients:
• 1 egg, room temperature
• water
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp sake
• 1 tsp mirin
• ¼ tsp sesame oil
• ¼ tsp baking soda
instructions:
1)  In a small zip top bag, add the following ingredients: soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sesame oil. Seal the bag and shake to mix the marinade. Set aside.
2)  Add water and vinegar in a saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, carefully add the egg by using some type of spoon to lower it in the water. For soft-boiled egg, cook for 3-4 minutes. For medium-boiled egg, cook for 6-8 minutes.
3)  While holding the egg back, quickly drain the hot water. Add baking soda in the pan and place it under cold, slow running water for 2 minutes. You can also transfer the egg to an ice bath with baking soda for 2 minutes, if you prefer. Remove the egg from the cold water, give it a gentle tap all the way around then peel.
4)  Add the egg into the marinade, squeeze as much as air as you can out of the bag, then seal. Marinate in the fridge up to 24 hours, or use it immediately after making the ramen.
5)  Remove egg from the marinade, discard marinade. Slice egg in half and serve on top of ramen.
tip: For soft-boiled egg, keep it whole and break it apart in the bowl so you won't lose any of the yolk.
For the Miso Ramen
ingredients:
• 2 cups homemade pork broth (recipe here)
• 2 tbsp Hikari Dashi Iri Genen Miso
• 1 tsp low sodium soy sauce
instructions:
1)  Strain the pork broth into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once at a rolling boil, turn off the heat. In a ladle, add miso and some broth and stir with a fork until miso is dissolved. Combine the miso mixture with the rest of the broth and add soy sauce. Turn the heat on and bring to a simmer (do not boil!) for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, start cooking the noodles.
For the Noodle
ingredients:
• 1 serving Japanese Curly Noodles Chuka Soba
• water
instructions:
1)  Add water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add noodles, cook for 3 minutes. Drain noodles well and transfer it to a bowl. Ladle in some broth, add egg halves and other toppings of your choice.
