Description
A delicious and comforting Miso Ramen topped with crispy Chicken Katsu, perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 4 ounces ramen noodles
- 1 cup cooked chicken, sliced (for katsu)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 soft-boiled egg (optional)
- Nori sheets (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine chicken broth, water, miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the miso paste is fully dissolved. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Set up a breading station for the chicken katsu: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten egg in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.
- Dredge each piece of cooked chicken in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- To serve, divide the cooked ramen noodles among bowls, ladle the miso broth over the noodles, and top with sliced chicken katsu, green onions, and a soft-boiled egg if desired. Add nori sheets for garnish.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a drizzle of chili oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the broth.
- You can customize the toppings by adding vegetables like bok choy, mushrooms, or corn for extra flavor and nutrition.
