Instructions
Preparation Steps
Start by expertly searing the pork shoulder in a large pot over medium-high heat until it’s nicely browned on all sides. This will enrich the flavor of the broth.
After searing, pour in the chicken broth and add in the miso paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Let it simmer for at least 30 minutes until the pork is tender.
While the broth simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Once the pork is tender, remove it from the pot, shred it into bite-sized pieces, and return it to the broth along with the baby spinach. Let it wilt for about 2 minutes.
To serve, divide the cooked ramen noodles into bowls, ladle the hot soup over, and top with shredded pork, scallions, and soft-boiled eggs for a beautiful finish.
Notes
This ramen is perfect for meal prep — just keep the noodles separate from the broth until you're ready to enjoy!
