Ingredients:

• 2 packs fresh or dried ramen noodles
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons miso paste (red or white, depending on taste)
• 1-2 teaspoons cannabis-infused butter (cannabutter) (adjust based on potency)**
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 2 eggs (soft-boiled)
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 sheet nori (seaweed), sliced into strips
• Optional garnish: sliced scallions, sesame seeds, chili oil

Equipment:

• Medium pot
• Small pan
• Ladle

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broth:
   Heat the sesame oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stir in the miso paste, and add soy sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Cook the Ramen Noodles:
   Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles in a separate pot according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Roast the Mushrooms:
   While the noodles cook, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until golden and slightly crispy. Set aside for topping.
4. Infuse the Broth:
   Turn the heat on the broth to low and stir in the cannabis-infused butter. Mix thoroughly to distribute the infusion evenly. Be mindful not to boil the broth, as high heat can degrade the cannabinoids.
5. Assemble the Ramen Bowls:
   Place the cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle the infused miso broth over the noodles. Add baby spinach to each bowl (it will wilt in the hot broth) and top with roasted mushrooms, soft-boiled eggs (halved), and strips of nori.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   Sprinkle with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil for added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your gourmet cannabis-infused miso ramen.

Tips for Responsible Dosing:

• Start with a small amount of cannabis butter (½ teaspoon) if you’re new to edibles, and adjust as necessary over time.
• Allow 30 minutes to 2 hours for the effects to set in before deciding if you need more.
• Refrigerate leftovers separately, labeling them to avoid accidental consumption.
