  • ¼ cup White miso paste
  • 8 cups low-sodium beef bone broth
  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs*
  • 9 ounces ramen or soba noodles** or two packages of seasoned ramen noodles; discard the seasoning pack

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, shallot, and chili pepper, if using. Cook, stirring, until the shallot is softened, about 4 minutes.
  2. Add the miso paste and cook, stirring, until it is slightly darkened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Slowly add the broth and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the chicken and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and registers at least 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
  4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  5. Soft-boil the eggs***: Fill a large bowl with water and ice to create an ice bath. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. With a slotted spoon, gently lower in the eggs and return to a high simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer (not a hard boil) and cook for 6 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath. Let chill for 2 minutes, then remove, peel, and slice in half.
  6. When the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a bowl. Shred the meat with two forks, discarding the skin and bones. Return the meat to the pot.
  7. If using, add the frozen vegetables to the pot, stir, and let heat through for a few minutes.
  8. To serve, divide the noodles between bowls. Ladle on the soup. Top with the soft-boiled eggs and any other desired toppings.

Notes

  • TO STORE: Refrigerate leftover miso ramen for up to 4 days; store the noodles and the soup in separate containers.
  • TO REHEAT: Warm
  • the soup mixture
  • on the stovetop or in the microwave until steaming.
  • There’s no need to heat the noodles, as the hot liquid will warm them up.
  • TO FREEZE: Freeze the miso soup mixture for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating according to the instructions above.
  • *Instead of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, you can use bone-in skin-on chicken breast, or boneless, skinless thighs; note that the ramen will be less rich and flavorful and the chicken's cooking time will differ.
  • **You can use any kind of noodle you like—just cook it separately, then serve the soup over the top of it. Whole wheat spaghetti or linguine is a good swap if that is all you have available.
  • ***You can also soft boil eggs in your Instant Pot. See Instant Pot Boiled Eggs for a recipe.
