Ingredients  

  • 6.70 oz noodles 190 g
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 bok choy chopped or sliced into pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 10.50 oz shrimp 300 g
  • 6 cup vegetable broth 1,50 l
  • 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 1 tbsp miso paste
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • sesame seeds to garnish (optional)

Instructions 

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions and soft-boil the eggs.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil, add the bok choy, and cook until tender for about 2 or 3 minutes.
  3. Heat a large pan over medium to high heat and drizzle a little bit of oil. When hot, saute the garlic for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 4 minutes until bright and opaque. Stir often to prevent burning.
  5. Then, add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and green onions into a pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes.
  6. Next, low the heat, take some of the broth into a small bowl, dissolve the miso, add to the cooking pot and stir to combine.
  7. Add the noodles, shrimp, and bok choy, and cook on low to medium heat for 2 minutes without boiling. Serve immediately with soft boiled egg, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds on top.

Notes

Don't throw away the shrimp sauce: The sauce that was released by the shrimp while sauteing is full of flavor. Add it together with the shrimp.
Don't overcook the bok choy: Overcooking will result in the loss of nutrients, flavor and will become mushy.
Dissolve the miso before adding to the pot: If you add the miso straight to the pot, it will not be easy to dissolve it. Instead, dissolve the miso with some broth in a small bowl, and then add to the cooking pot.
Don't boil the miso: Adding it to boiling water will kill the miso probiotics that are so beneficial for digestive health. After adding the miso, cook on lower heat.
