Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add kombu and immediately remove from heat; let sit 3 minutes, then remove kombu.

  2. Step 2

    Return broth to a boil. Whisk in anchovy paste (or miso) until dissolved. The broth should taste clean and salty.

  3. Step 3

    Add shrimp and simmer until opaque, 2–3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Gently add eggs to the simmering broth. Set a timer for 6 minutes for soft-boiled yolks; remove with a spoon.

  5. Step 5

    Add noodles to the same pot and cook until al dente, 3–4 minutes for fresh, 4–5 for dried. Stir gently to avoid clumping.

  6. Step 6

    Divide noodles and broth between two bowls. Top each with shrimp, a halved egg, and scallions. Serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need
