  4. Mix together miso, ginger, and soy sauce, adding water to bring total volume to 4 cups.
  5. Add bok choy to pot with meatballs, along with sauce from Step 5, simmering until bok choy cooked to desired tenderness.
  6. Cook ramen noodles following package directions. Place 1 serving of noodles in each bowl, and then add a quarter of the soup, meatballs, roasted squash, and Asian pear. Garnish with furikake and additional green onions if desired.
