Ingredients
chicken breast
1/4 lb (cooked and shredded)
ramen noodles
9 ounces (cooked according to package instructions)
chicken broth
5 cups (homemade or store-bought)
gingerroot
1 inch (crushed)
miso

Instructions
1
In a large saucepan, place the chicken breast and cover it with enough water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let the chicken simmer gently for 30 minutes until fully cooked.
3
Remove the chicken from the saucepan and transfer it to a plate to cool. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken into thin strips using your fingers or forks.
4
While the chicken is cooking, bring a separate pot with 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook for approximately 3 minutes or until they soften. Drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.
5
Divide the cooked ramen noodles evenly among four serving bowls.
6
In the same saucepan used for the chicken, add the chicken broth and crushed ginger root. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
7
After 10 minutes, use a slotted spoon to remove the ginger from the broth.
8
In a small bowl, combine the miso paste with a few tablespoons of the hot broth. Whisk until smooth and then add this mixture back into the saucepan.
9
Stir in the soy sauce and add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as necessary.
10
Ladle the hot broth over the noodles in each bowl, ensuring to distribute the flavors evenly.
11
Top the ramen with the shredded chicken and garnish with sliced scallions before serving.
