Nabe Ramen

I've now had a cold for a week, and I've been trying everything to get rid of it. I've gone through gallons of tea, mixed with ginger, honey, and lemon juice. I've taken various medicines and supplements in the prescribed dosages. I've taken time off, allowing myself time to sleep, which may ultimately be the one thing that helps the most.

Unsatisfied with canned soup, I decided that perhaps a kimchee / miso / dashi-based nabe might help to kill my cold. To fortify the broth, I added the following:
1 bunch of garlic, smashed
1 large chunk of ginger, grated
dried shiitake mushrooms

I let the broth simmer, as I added the following:
2 carrots, chopped
half of a kabocha, chopped
more garlic
finely cubed beef and pork
3 onions, cubed
1 block of firm tofu, cubed
2 cups of fresh shiitake mushrooms

After the soup was ready, I added boiled eggs, and also poached an egg inside of the hot broth.

I added instant ramen noodles.

To top the nabe, I added chopped green onions and cilantro.

I have to say that the nabe made me feel better, both in cooking and eating it. It didn't kill the cold, but I'd say that it was at least effective in boosting morale.

Next time, I am going to add more ingredients:
Bean sprouts
Napa
Sesame seed and nori topping
Raw garlic topping
Perhaps chopped peanut topping in a nod to Vietnamese stew and tonton ramen
