Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with a little salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, remove from the pan, let it rest for a few minutes, and then slice thinly.

Step 2: Make the Broth

In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili paste (if using). Stir everything together, making sure the miso paste dissolves completely. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 3: Cook the Noodles

While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and set them aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Ramen

Once the broth is ready, divide the cooked noodles between four bowls. Pour the hot miso broth over the noodles. Top with the sliced chicken, boiled eggs (if using), green onions, corn, spinach, bamboo shoots, and any other toppings you like.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Garnish your ramen with sesame seeds, nori sheets, and extra chili paste or soy sauce if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Miso Ramen with Chicken!
