Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Miso Curry Broth

1.    Heat the sesame oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
2.    Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until softened and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes.
3.    Stir in the curry powder (or garam masala) and miso paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the spices and miso to bloom.
4.    Add the vegetable broth and coconut milk to the pot. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5.    Taste and adjust the seasoning with soy sauce, chili paste, or salt, depending on your preferred spice level and flavor.
6.    Once the broth is ready, set it aside.
Step 2: Cook the Noodles
1.    While the broth simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2.    Drizzle a little sesame oil over the noodles to prevent them from sticking.
Step 3: Assemble the Ramen Bowl
1.    Divide the cooked noodles between two bowls.
2.    Pour the spicy miso curry broth over the noodles, making sure they're fully covered.
3.    Arrange the julienned carrots, halved boiled eggs, spring onions, and fresh cilantro or basil on top of the ramen.
4.    Optionally, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for a nice crunch.
