- Heat oil in a large pot on medium high heat. Add onions, ginger and garlic with a pinch of salt and sauté until golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add vegetable broth, broth from rehydrated mushrooms, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, purée broth and stir in soy sauce and miso paste. Season with salt to taste. Add kohlrabi, pak choi and rehydrated mushrooms and simmer 5 minutes until pak choi is tender.
- While the broth is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside until ready to eat.
- When ready to eat, divide noodles between bowls. Ladle in broth and top with pak choi and mushrooms. Garnish with kimchi or tabasco, radishes, avocado slices, chopped spring onions/scallions and sliced boiled egg.
