Instructions

1. Prep: Slice mushrooms and onion. Mince garlic. Grate ginger. Strip kale from stems and thinly slice. (Optional) Soft-boil 2 eggs: simmer 7 minutes, chill, peel.
2. Cook noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook ramen/soba. Drain and set aside.
3. Brown the sausage (stove): Heat 1 tsp neutral oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add sausage and break up; cook until well-browned, 6–8 minutes. Spoon off excess fat if needed.
4. Build aromatics: Add onion and mushrooms to the pot; cook until mushrooms give up liquid and start to brown, 5–6 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds.
5. Make quick broth: Add stock/water. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
6. Season with miso (don’t boil): In a small bowl, whisk miso with a ladle of hot broth until smooth, then stir it back into the pot. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar/lemon. Taste and adjust (more miso for depth, more vinegar for brightness).
7. Finish greens: Add kale and simmer just until tender and bright, 2–3 minutes.
8. Serve: Divide noodles between 2 bowls. Ladle broth/sausage/veg over top. Add egg halves and chili crisp if using.
