This Miso Ramen Chicken and my Japan trip in pictures is inspired by the best miso ramen I had in Japan. In the video I included pictures and shared my experience and thoughts on the unforgettable trip to Japan. You can find the video in the end of this post or you can just click here to watch!
This is a very easy chicken miso ramen that comes together in under 30 minutes. For me, ramen is the ultimate comfort food – with the crunchy greens, creamy eggs, a bit of spice, umami of course, tender meat and rich broth, not many dishes not many dishes come close in comparison.
I like the spicy miso broth so I added some godjujang to it. You can use ground chili too. And if you don’t like spicy food just skip adding chili.
And to achieve miso flavor ramen I used white miso. Be careful how much miso you use. A little too much can end up with a very strong miso flavor.
For this soybean paste ramen I used my favorite toppings – bok choy, green onions, seaweed and eggs. You can also use sweet corn, spinach, bean sprouts…
Choice of noodles is very important for this miso ramen with bok choy or any ramen. I like very thin type of noodles and those cook in 3-4 minutes. But there are many types and even fresh made you can experiment with.
