Cooking homemade ramen can be a straightforward affair if you follow these detailed steps:

1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine the chicken or pork broth, water, soy sauce, miso paste, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil.

2. Simmer the Broth: Once boiled, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

3. Cook the Noodles: While the broth simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

4. Prepare Toppings: Soft-boil the eggs by simmering them for 6-7 minutes, then cool them in ice water. Once cooled, peel and slice in half. Sauté mushrooms in a separate pan until golden brown.

5. Assemble the Bowls: Place cooked noodles in individual bowls. Pour the hot broth over the noodles.

6. Add Toppings: Layer your toppings over the noodles—top with soft-boiled egg halves, bean sprouts, spinach, sautéed mushrooms, and protein of choice.

7. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top. If you like it spicy, drizzle some chili oil for an extra kick.

8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your homemade ramen while it’s hot, garnishing with nori sheets as desired.
