Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium pot over medium heat, sauté 1 chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and a thumb-sized piece of grated ginger until fragrant and the onion turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons of miso paste and 1 chopped tomato, allowing to combine for another 2 minutes. Pour in 4 cups of water, bring to a simmer, and let thicken for about 10 minutes.
  2. While the soup base simmers, season 1 pound of chicken breast with salt, pepper, and spices. Marinate for about 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.
  4. Boil water in a medium pot, add ramen noodles, and cook according to package instructions (about 3-4 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water.
  5. To serve, place noodles in bowls, ladle hot miso soup over, and arrange sliced chicken on top. Add optional toppings as desired.

Notes

Simmer the soup base long enough to develop umami flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Use high-quality ingredients for the best taste.
