How to cook ramen with mushrooms

• Heat a little sesame oil in a saucepan. Add chopped garlic and ginger, fry until fragrant. Then pour in the vegetable broth, add soy sauce, miso paste and, if desired, a little rice vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
• Chop the mushrooms and fry them in a frying pan with a drop of oil until golden brown. You can add a little salt or soy sauce for flavor.
• Boil the noodles according to the instructions on the package. Pour boiling water over the pak choi or spinach leaves for 1-2 minutes or boil them lightly. You can boil the egg “in a bag” (6-7 minutes in boiling water) and cut it in half.
• Put the finished noodles in a deep bowl, then add mushrooms, vegetables, and half an egg on top. Carefully pour hot broth over everything. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and other favorite additives.
