  • 1 large bunch scallions, thinly sliced on bias, white and greens separated
  • 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons mirin
  • About ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 6 cups chicken bone broth or stock
  • 1 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1 bunch medium spinach, stemmed and coarsely chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 8 ounces ramen noodles
To Serve:
  • Cilantro leaves or thinly sliced shiso
  • Radish matchsticks
  • Thinly sliced jalapeño peppers or fresh red chili peppers
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Remove skin from chicken and cut meat way from bone, then thinly slice and reserve.  

Heat a pot of water to boil ramen.  

Heat a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high to high heat, add oil, 2 turns of the pan, brown the mushrooms a couple of minutes, add ginger, carrot, whites of scallions, and garlic, then toss 2-3 minutes. Add mirin, soy sauce, miso, sesame oil, stock and hot sauce, bring to boil, then reduce heat to simmer and wilt in the spinach.    

Meanwhile, boil 4 eggs for 5 minutes, then crack and cool under cold water.  

Cook ramen about 5 minutes, drain and drizzle with a bit of toasted sesame oil.  

Peel and halve the soft-boiled eggs.

Fill bowls with ¼ of noodles per bowl and arrange the sliced chicken in equal amounts over the noodles. Top each bowl of noodles and chicken with ¼ of soup and broth. Arrange eggs, cilantro or shiso, radishes, and chili peppers, then sprinkle sesame seeds over top.
