Instructions

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar.
Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes to let the flavors blend. If you like spice, add chili paste or Sriracha at this stage.
Add the mushrooms and shredded carrots to the simmering broth. Cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.
While the broth simmers, cook the ramen noodles separately according to package instructions. Drain and set aside to prevent over-soaking.
Add the sliced prime rib to the broth, cooking for about 1–2 minutes to warm it through without overcooking.
Divide the noodles between serving bowls. Pour the hot broth and vegetables over them.
Top each bowl with slices of prime rib, baby spinach, and a halved soft-boiled egg.
Finish with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional garnishes such as nori strips, cilantro, or chili oil.

Notes

Use fresh ramen noodles for a more authentic texture, or instant noodles for convenience.
If you don’t have beef broth, chicken or vegetable broth works too, though the flavor will be lighter.
To keep the beef tender, always warm it gently—never boil it.
Store leftover broth separately from noodles to keep the texture fresh.
Add extra vegetables like bok choy, corn, or snow peas to customize your bowl.
