Begin by preparing the zucchini noodles. Using a spiralizer, create noodles from the two medium zucchinis and set them aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Mince the garlic and peel and grate the ginger, then add them to the pot, stirring until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Slice the shiitake mushrooms and add them to the pot, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until they are slightly softened.
Pour in the chicken broth, miso paste, and soy sauce. Stir the mixture well to ensure the miso paste is fully dissolved. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
While the broth is simmering, cut the tofu into small cubes and chop the green onions. Keep the tofu and half of the green onions for later.
Carefully lower the eggs into a small pot of boiling water and boil for 7 minutes. Once done, remove them, cool under cold running water, peel, and set aside.
Add the zucchini noodles to the simmering broth along with the baby spinach. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes until zucchini noodles are tender but not mushy.
Add the tofu cubes to the pot, letting them warm through in the broth for 1-2 minutes.
Divide the ramen into bowls. Top each with a soft-boiled egg sliced in half, the remaining green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil for some heat.
Serve the ramen hot, and enjoy your delicious low-carb miso ramen!
