Instructions
Heat the peanut oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until softened and releasing liquid, stirring frequently. Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan and add the white part of the green onions, garlic, and ginger to the other side. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add 4 cups of the broth (or water) and cabbage and bring to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook for 3 minutes, until tender, adding more water if needed. Stir in the edamame and reduce the heat to low.
Spoon a small amount of the soup liquid into a bowl, add the miso paste and stir to dissolve the miso. Return the miso liquid to the pan and add the soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil. Cook for 1 minute to heat through. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the green part of the green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
