- Unsalted Butter: 2 tablespoons

Let’s Make 15- Minute Miso Butter Ramen
Follow these steps and enjoy a rich, silky, and satisfying bowl of miso butter ramen ready in just 15 minutes.
Step 1: Sauté the Garlic
Set a medium pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
Stir constantly so the garlic doesn’t burn. Cook until golden and fragrant.
Step 2: Build the Broth
Pour in 3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth. Bring it to a gentle boil.
While you wait, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Once the broth is hot, stir this mixture straight into the pot.
Step 3: Cook the Noodles
Add the ramen noodles directly into the broth. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring gently to separate the noodles.
They should be soft but still have a slight chew.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
Give the broth a quick taste. If you want it saltier, add a splash more soy sauce; if you want it richer, drop in a little extra butter.
This small step makes a big difference.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
Ladle the ramen into two bowls. Top each bowl with the halved soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve immediately while the broth is hot.
Variations You Can Try
Some variations you can try to make it more delicious and satisfying.
Spicy Miso Butter Ramen
Everything stays the same, but you add 1 tablespoon of chili paste or sriracha straight into the broth.
You can also top it with chili flakes for an extra kick. The spice cuts right through the richness of the butter and miso.
It’s bold, warming, and seriously hard to put down.
Creamy Coconut Miso Ramen
Swap out 1 cup of the broth for 1 cup of coconut milk. The coconut adds a gentle sweetness that balances the salty miso perfectly.
Top it with some fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. It tastes rich, a little tropical, and completely different from the original.
Veggie-Packed Miso Ramen
Want to make it a fuller meal? Toss in some baby bok choy, sliced mushrooms, or corn kernels right after you add the broth.
They cook quickly and soak up all that miso-butter flavor. You still get the same rich broth but with more texture and color in every bite.
A Bowl Worth Coming Back To
A warm bowl of miso butter ramen does not have to take hours to make.
With the right ingredients and a simple method, it comes together fast without losing any of that rich, deep flavor.
This 15- minute miso butter ramen recipe fits any mood, any night, and any level of cooking experience. Once you make it the first time, it becomes part of your regular rotation.
So grab that pot, get the broth going, and make yourself a bowl worth looking forward to.
