Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Broth

  • In a large pot, melt one teaspoon of butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 2: Add the Corn

  • Stir in the corn kernels and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Frozen corn works perfectly and requires very little preparation.

Step 3: Cook the Noodles

  • Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions in a separate pot.
  • Cooking the noodles separately prevents excess starch from clouding the broth.
  • Drain and set aside.

Step 4: Incorporate the Miso

  • Place the miso paste in a small bowl. Add a ladleful of hot broth and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture back into the pot and stir thoroughly.
  • Avoid boiling the broth after adding miso, as excessive heat can diminish its delicate flavor.

Step 5: Finish with Butter

  • Add the remaining butter and stir until fully melted.
  • Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with soy sauce if desired.

Step 6: Assemble the Bowls

  • Divide the noodles between serving bowls.
  • Pour the hot broth and corn over the noodles.
  • Add your favorite toppings and serve immediately
