Begin by preparing the shirataki noodles as per the package instructions. This usually involves draining, rinsing under hot water, and boiling for a few minutes to remove the odor. Set aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sautΓ© until aromatic, about 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the simmering broth, and cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
Add the sliced green onions and baby spinach to the broth, stirring until the spinach wilts.
Introduce the prepared shirataki noodles into the pot and stir well to integrate with the soup base. Allow the soup to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the soup from the heat, add sesame oil, and stir. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or salt if needed.
Divide the soup into bowls. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place halves on top of the soup in each bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve hot, adding a swirl of sriracha or other chili sauce for an optional spicy kick.
