• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 carrot (julienned)
• 2 egg (soft-boiled)
• 2 green onions (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 4 lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer.

In a separate pan, lightly season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red chili flakes. Sauté them in a bit of sesame oil over medium heat until they turn pink and are fully cooked (about 2-3 minutes per side). Set aside.

Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes).

Step 7

During the last minute of cooking the noodles, stir in the baby spinach and julienned carrots to wilt slightly.
