Method
Cut the lime or lemon in half. Juice one half into a bowl large enough to hold your shrimp, tofu or chicken. Cut the other into small pieces and set aside. Toss with the salt, pepper and about half the oil and let rest for a few minutes. Add the rest of the oil to a small saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat and saute the shrimp or chicken until cooked through.
Bring 3 cups of water to boil. Add the noodles and cook as directed by the package. If using a raw egg, carefully crack it into a corner of the pan and poach it in the water as noodles cook. Remove from heat and add the miso paste or soup mix plus the soy sauce and let steep for a couple of minutes.
Portion the soup into two bowls. Add the green onions, shoots and greens and stir through. Top with the egg and shrimp, tofu and the reserved lemon or lime pieces. Add Sriracha to taste if that’s your thing.
