4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
2 packs instant ramen noodles, discard seasoning packets
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup shredded carrots
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and water, then stir in the soy sauce and miso paste until the miso is fully dissolved.
Bring the broth to a gentle boil.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and shredded carrots to the pot and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the instant ramen noodles to the pot and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to separate the noodles.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and baby spinach leaves. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
In a small bowl, beat the egg lightly.
Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the simmering broth while stirring gently to create egg ribbons.
