StovePot
2
Gently lower the eggs into it with a spoon.
3
Turn down the heat slightly and simmer 7 minutes.
⚙ SimmeringStove
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
4
Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes, and peel from the wide end.
Ice bath
💡Cold water right after cooking stops the cooking and separates the membrane from the white: peeling is easy, and the yolk doesn't turn gray.
For the Hot Topping
5
Heat the oil in a wide pan over high heat.
StoveFrying pan
6
Add the mushrooms in a single layer, leave 2–3 minutes without stirring, then toss 3–4 more minutes, until golden.
Stove

7
Add the ginger and sauté 1 more minute.

Thin the miso with a few tablespoons of the hot stock and stir it into the pot. Don't boil again.
💡Don't boil miso: boiling dulls its flavor. Thin it with hot stock and add it at the end.
12
Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water (4¼ cups of water and a heaping teaspoon of salt for every 4 oz of pasta), following the package directions (taste about 2 minutes early), until al dente.
⚙ Cooking in salted waterStovePot
💡The water should taste like a seasoned soup, not like sea water: a heaping teaspoon of salt per liter. Add the salt once the water is boiling.

Drain.

Divide the noodles among the bowls and pour the boiling soup over them.
