FAQ
Can I swap the white miso for another type?
Yeah! White miso is mild and sweet, but yellow miso works too. Red miso is stronger, so use a smaller amount if you try that.
Is this the same as traditional miso ramen?
Not quite — this is a quick, simple version inspired by the flavors of miso ramen, but it’s not a soup or broth-based dish.
What else can I add?
Soft-boiled eggs, tofu, mushrooms, shrimp, or spinach are great additions if you want to bulk it up.
Can I make it spicy?
For sure! Just add more chili oil or a spoonful of chili crisp if you like heat.
