- 1 tablespoon Wilson’s Sesame Seed Oil
- 3 teaspoons ginger, grated
- 4 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
- ½ cup fresh shiitake mushrooms

- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 packs dried ramen noodles
- Wilson’s Peri Flavoured Oil, to taste (optional)
- ½ cup green onions/scallions, sliced
- 1 cup carrots, shredded

Method:
Heat yours Wilson’s Sesame Seed Oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a couple minutes until soft and fragrant. Stir in the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar or dry white wine and sugar, and cook for another minute. Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the eggs and cook for exactly 7 minutes for a slightly runny yoke or 8 minutes for a soft yolk.

Divide the soup into 2 large bowls.
Top with an egg, spinach, carrots and green onions. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional) and serve immediately.
