Step 1

Cook your eggs now, or make them ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use. (See notes.)

Step 2

Combine broth, ginger, garlic, miso, sambal oelek, soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar in a saucepan. Bring everything to a boil. Reduce heat to let simmer and cook 10 minutes. Spoon out the ginger and garlic slices.

Step 3

Add dried noodles and cook until soft. Divide noodles evenly between two bowls. Cover with broth and top with halved eggs, scallions, black sesame seeds or togarashi, and nori.
