Description

Sometimes a ramen fix is just the right thing, and this quick and easy version from Food & Wine's Justin Chapple hits the spot. The addition of white miso and runny eggs are key to making it feel more special than standard chicken noodle soup.

Ingredients

  • 1 quart chicken stock or low-sodium broth
  • 3 tablespoons white miso
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 pound shredded cooked chicken (about 2 cups)
  • ice
  • 2 large eggs
  • two 3-ounce packages ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
  • shredded carrot, thinly sliced scallion and sriracha, for serving

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the stock, miso and soy sauce; bring to a boil over high heat, whisking to dissolve the miso. Add the chicken and simmer over moderate heat for 2 minutes. Keep hot over low heat.
  2. Set up a small ice bath. Fill another medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the eggs and simmer over moderate heat for exactly 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool. Carefully peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.
  3. Meanwhile, return the saucepan of water to a boil. Add the ramen and cook until just softened, about 3 minutes. Drain well and transfer to 2 large bowls. Ladle the broth and chicken over the noodles and top with the eggs. Serve with shredded carrot, thinly sliced scallion and Sriracha.
