What You’ll Need
- A live or fresh lobster around 1 to 2 pounds: loads of sweet, tender meat
- Four cups of broth (chicken or seafood): the tasty base, homemade or good store-bought
- Two packs of ramen noodles: classic chewiness, fresh if you can get it
- Two tablespoons soy sauce: salty, savory punch, ideally naturally brewed
- One tablespoon miso paste: adds depth and gentle tang, red or white works
- One teaspoon sesame oil: a nutty aroma and flavor boost
- One cup sliced mushrooms: earthy taste from shiitake or cremini
- One cup fresh spinach: bright color and healthy boost, tender young leaves best
- Two green onions: add crisp freshness when finely chopped
- Two boiled eggs (one each): creamy richness, soft boiled with runny yolks to top it off
