Stir in the noodles, kale, and cilantro. Let sit 5 minutes or until the noodles are soft.
Meanwhile, make the mushrooms. Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, combine the butter, mushrooms, shallots, sesame seeds, chili flakes, and a pinch of salt. Transfer to the oven and roast for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until the mushrooms are golden. Switch the oven to broil, broil 1-2 minutes, until crisp. Watch closely.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the mushrooms, eggs, carrots, green onions, and additional chili oil.
Enjoy!
