Gourmet Shrimp Ramen: A Savory Twist on a Classic

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Broth

In a large pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken or vegetable broth, water, soy sauce, miso paste (if using), rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce to the pot. Stir to combine, bring to a simmer, and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 3: Cook the Noodles

While the broth simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions (usually about 3-4 minutes in boiling water). Drain and set aside.
Step 4: Add Vegetables

To the simmering broth, add the sliced mushrooms, baby spinach or bok choy, and sliced carrots. Let the vegetables cook in the broth for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender.
Step 5: Assemble the Ramen Bowls

Divide the cooked noodles between two bowls. Ladle the hot broth and vegetables over the noodles. Arrange the cooked shrimp, halved boiled eggs, and green onions on top of the ramen.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of chili paste or sriracha for an extra kick, if desired.
Step 6: Serve

Serve the ramen hot and enjoy the rich, savory flavors of this gourmet shrimp ramen!
