Origin Miso Butter Ramen Noodles
This dish is inspired by Hokkaido-style miso ramen, where butter and corn are common toppings. Miso’s deep, fermented flavor meets butter’s creamy richness to create a soul-warming bowl of noodles.
What I Love About This Recipe
It’s ridiculously easy, ready in under 20 minutes, and feels like a restaurant-quality treat. The butter mellows the miso and coats the noodles with an irresistible glossy sauce.

kcalIngredients
2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets if instant)
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp white or yellow miso paste
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1½ cups water or low-sodium broth
Optional toppings: soft-boiled egg, corn, green onions, sesame seeds, chili oil
Directions
- In a small pan, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Stir in miso paste and soy sauce, letting it dissolve into the butter.
- Add water or broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 3–4 minutes), stirring occasionally to coat them evenly.
- Finish with sesame oil and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Transfer to a bowl and top with your favorite toppings — soft-boiled egg, corn, scallions, or a drizzle of chili oil.
Notes
- Use fresh ramen or soba for a more elevated version.
- For a heartier meal, stir in sautéed mushrooms or bok choy.
- Make it spicy by adding a spoonful of gochujang or sriracha.
