Ingredients
- – 8 oz (227 g) ground chicken (sub crumbled tempeh or tofu)
- – 2 Tbsp (30 ml) neutral cooking oil
- – 6 to 8 oz (170 to 227 g) thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
- – 1/2 cup (120 ml) minced shallots
- – 4 garlic cloves, minced
- – 1 Tbsp (15 ml) freshly grated ginger
- – 3 Tbsp (45 ml) white miso paste
- – 2 Tbsp (30 ml) lower-sodium soy sauce
- – 2 Tbsp (30 ml) rice vinegar
- – 1 Tbsp (15 ml) hot chili oil
- – 6 to 8 cups (1680 ml) (1.4 to 1.9 liters) low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- – 2 packs dry ramen noodles (seasoning packs discarded)*
- – 1 cup (175 g) sweet corn (frozen/thawed, canned, or fresh)
- – 3 soft-boiled eggs, halved*
- – Thinly sliced green onions for garnish
- – Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Warm a large pot or Dutch oven over medium warmth. Once heated, lightly coat the surface and introduce the ground chicken (or vegetarian substitute). Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, using a wooden spoon to crumble the meat into tiny bits. Move the cooked meat to a bowl and reserve it for later.
- Pour the oil into the pan, then add the mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are golden and soft. Mix in the shallots, garlic, and ginger; continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until they become fragrant.
- Incorporate the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hot chili oil into the mixture. Pour in 6 cups of broth and bring it to a rolling boil. *Note: For a more liquid consistency, you can add 1 to 2 more cups of broth at this point. Reduce the heat and let it gently simmer on medium-low for 20 minutes.
- Return the broth to a boil and introduce the noodles. Cook until the noodles reach an al dente texture, roughly 3 minutes, or as instructed on the package. Mix in the prepared meat and corn.
- Serve the ramen by ladling it into bowls, topping each portion with half of a soft-boiled egg, a sprinkle of green onions, and toasted sesame seeds. For added heat, drizzle extra chili oil on top.
Notes
- Consider using crumbled tempeh or tofu as a plant-based protein substitute for ground chicken.
- Enhance the umami flavor by adding fish sauce or nutritional yeast to the broth.
- Make the dish more filling by incorporating additional vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or bell peppers.
