Backcountry Savory Miso Ramen Breakfast
A Japanese-inspired savory breakfast: instant ramen simmered with miso paste, soft-boiled eggs, and green onions. Warming, briny, and fast—perfect for chilly alpine mornings on the trail.
Equipment
- Small pot
- Backpacking stove
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 package instant ramen noodles
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 egg
- 1 scallion green onion sliced
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil in pot on backpacking stove.
- Lower in egg and boil for 5 minutes for soft-boiled. Remove egg, peel, set aside.

Notes
Pack miso paste in a small leakproof container for flavor and easy nutrition. Ramen softens quickly at altitude—adjust timing as needed.
