Creating an amazing homemade ramen is straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine chicken or vegetable broth, water, soy sauce, miso paste (if using), and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and ginger. Allow the broth to simmer for at least 20-30 minutes for the flavors to develop.
3. Cook Ramen Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4. Prepare Toppings: While the broth simmers, prepare your desired toppings. For soft-boiled eggs, gently boil them for about 6-7 minutes, then cool in ice water before peeling.
5. Assemble Your Ramen: Once the broth is ready, strain out the solids if you prefer a clearer broth, or leave them in for added texture.
6. Combine: Add the cooked noodles to the broth and stir well. Serve immediately in bowls.
7. Garnish: Top each bowl with your chosen toppings such as soft-boiled eggs, sliced meat, greens, and sesame seeds.
8. Finish with Green Onions: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top for a fresh kick and serve hot.

These clear, actionable steps will ensure you enjoy this incredible homemade ramen without any hassle!
