INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 packs ramen noodles
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1- inch piece of ginger grated
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 2 eggs soft-boiled
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the Broth:
- In a pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to embrace the warmth of the stove, inviting calmness into your kitchen.
- Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Let them dance gracefully in the simmering broth, releasing their fragrant essence into the air.
- As the flavors meld together, season the chicken breasts with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. In a separate pan, let a drizzle of sesame oil create a golden sanctuary for the chicken. Cook them with patience until they exude a tantalizing aroma and achieve a golden hue.
- Once cooked, allow the chicken breasts to rest, embracing their tender juiciness before slicing them thinly to adorn our bowl of tranquility.
Enhance with Miso:
- In a small bowl, dilute the white miso paste with a ladleful of the simmering broth. Stir gently, witnessing the union of miso and broth, as they intertwine to create a symphony of flavors.
- Pour this miso elixir back into the pot, allowing it to infuse the broth with its umami elegance, enriching every sip with depth and complexity.
Introduce Umami Elegance into the Soup:
- With a graceful pour, introduce soy sauce into the broth, stirring gently to ensure its seamless integration. Taste the harmony of flavors, adjusting the seasoning to your preference, and adding more soy sauce if needed.
Embrace Texture and Color:
- With a gentle touch, place soft-boiled eggs into the simmering broth, allowing them to bask in its warmth for a couple of minutes, ensuring they are enveloped in its comforting embrace.
- Add ramen noodles to the pot, allowing them to dance gracefully in the simmering broth until they achieve the desired al dente texture, absorbing the essence of the soup.
- In the final moments of serenity, add spinach leaves and sliced green onions to the pot, watching as they wilt gently, adding a burst of freshness and vibrancy to our bowl of tranquility.
Compose the Harmony:
- With reverence, ladle the fragrant broth and noodles into bowls, each spoonful a testament to the tranquility found in simplicity.
- Top with thinly sliced chicken breasts and halved soft-boiled eggs, allowing their presence to evoke a sense of nourishment and fulfillment.
- Garnish with additional green onions, a symbol of renewal and vitality, as you prepare to embark on a journey of sensory delight.
