Ingredients
  

4 cups vegetable broth

2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or freshly cooked)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon miso paste (optional, but recommended for depth)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (increase for more heat)

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 clove garlic, finely minced

4 servings of fresh or dried ramen noodles

1 cup baby spinach

1 cup shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced

2 green onions, finely sliced

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Soft-boiled eggs (optional, one per bowl)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine the vegetable broth, pumpkin puree, soy sauce, miso paste (if using), sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Use a whisk to blend everything until smooth. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Cook the Ramen Noodles: While your broth simmers, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions until just tender. Drain the noodles and set them aside, keeping them warm.

      Add Vegetables: After the broth has simmered for 10 minutes, stir in the sliced shiitake mushrooms and baby spinach. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the spinach has wilted down into the broth.

        Assemble the Bowls: To serve, divide the cooked ramen noodles into four bowls. Carefully ladle the spicy pumpkin broth, filled with the sautéed vegetables, over each portion of noodles.

          Garnish: If using, gently place a soft-boiled egg on top of each bowl. Garnish with the sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, adding both flavor and a delightful crunch.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve your delicious spicy pumpkin soy ramen bowls while hot. Feel free to adjust the seasoning with extra soy sauce or chili garlic sauce to match your taste preference.
