Chicken and Mushroom Miso Ramen Bowl is a cozy and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and slurp-worthy noodles in a rich miso broth infused with garlic and ginger. This comforting bowl delivers bold umami flavor in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as shiitake or cremini)
- 2 packs ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Chili oil (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Whisk miso paste with a few spoonfuls of hot broth until smooth, then stir back into the pot along with soy sauce and rice vinegar.
- Add ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 3 to 4 minutes. During the last minute, stir in baby spinach to wilt.
- Return cooked chicken to the pot and heat through for 1 minute.
- Divide into bowls and top with green onions, soft-boiled eggs if using, and drizzle with chili oil if desired.
Notes
- Substitute chicken with tofu or thinly sliced beef for variation.
- Add vegetables like bok choy, shredded carrots, or corn for extra nutrition.
- For richer broth, stir in a splash of coconut milk.
- Store broth and noodles separately to prevent noodles from absorbing too much liquid.
- Freeze broth (without noodles) for up to 2 months.
