To achieve that rich base, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the white miso paste and stir until it's well combined. This will create a flavorful miso mixture that will form the backbone of your broth.

Boil water in a large pot. Once it’s at a rolling boil, toss in your ramen noodles. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 3 to 4 minutes, until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a small skillet, heat a teaspoon of spicy chili oil over medium heat. Crack the egg and cook to your preference—soft and runny, or firm. Sprinkle with a pinch of sesame seeds as it fries to add depth.

In a large bowl, pour in your ramen and broth mixture. Top it with your fried egg and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion. The visual is just as important as the taste, so make it look beautiful!
