Ingredients
4 chicken thighs, skin-on
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 inches fresh ginger, sliced thinly
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp miso paste
6 cups high-quality chicken stock
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp mirin
2 scallions, chopped
4 servings ramen noodles
4 soft-boiled eggs, halved
1/2 cup sweet corn
1 sheet nori, cut into strips
Instructions
Sear the chicken thighs in a large pot over medium-high heat until skin is golden brown.
Add minced garlic and ginger to the pot, sautéing until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil, bringing to a gentle simmer.
Whisk in the miso paste until fully dissolved and simmer for 40 minutes.
Prepare the ramen noodles according to package directions in a separate pot.
Remove chicken from the broth, shred the meat, and set aside.
Divide cooked noodles into four bowls.
Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and top with shredded chicken, soft-boiled eggs, sweet corn, nori, and fresh scallions.
Notes
Keep the skin on the chicken thighs while simmering for maximum flavor, then discard or crisp up separately for texture. For a vegetarian base, swap chicken for mushrooms, however, the depth of this specific recipe relies on the chicken fat properly rendered during the searing process. Store broth and noodles separately to prevent sogginess.
