EASY Spicy Miso Ramen Recipe & Video

Hi guys!

Today I’m sharing EASY but packed with authentic flavors, Spicy Chicken Miso Ramen!

I’ve been sharing a couple of ramen recipes with you guys, but all of them are (even though I made it as most straightforward as possible) time-consuming, with lots of energy and effort required. So today, I decided to share an easy spicy miso ramen recipe with you! It takes only 1 hour to make, and boy, it tastes F’ing amazing!!!

For this easy spicy miso ramen broth, add garlic, onion, ginger, carrots, green onions, dried shiitake mushrooms, kombu, and dried seaweed in a large pot. Pour cold water and chicken stock and cover, bring it to boil and reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes.

30 minutes later, add chicken breast and sake into the pot, cover, and let it simmer an additional 20 to 25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

You could use 4 chicken thighs instead of 2 chicken breasts if you prefer dark meat.

Meanwhile, let’s make the flavored oil and the spicy miso tare!

In a saucepan, combine garlic, ginger, gochugaru the Korean red pepper flakes (you can substitute them to regular red pepper flakes or Thai chili powder) for the flavored oil and let it infuse the flavors over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and let it cool.

In another saucepan, combine miso, sake, mirin, toban djan, garlic, and ginger. Whisk until smooth. Bring it to boil over medium-high heat and let it keep boiling for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

My favorite miso is yellow miso, as known as Awase Miso. It’s a mixture of white and red miso, SO GOOD!

Toban Djan is a chili bean sauce that is spicy, salty, and slightly tangly. You can find toban djan early nowadays at your local Asian groceries or online.

Now, remove chicken from the pot along with the shiitake mushrooms. Make sure to squeeze the shiitake because it soaks up lots of broth. Turn off the heat and remove all the solid ingredients from the broth as well.

Remove big chunky stuff with tongs first, then use a small strainer and take every tiny bit for nice and clean ramen broth! The broth is done and ready to rock and roll!

Let the chicken and shiitake cool (enough to handle with your hands), then slice the shiitake thinly and shred the chicken into bite sizes.

Drain the flavored oil into a separate bowl and set the clean oil aside. That chunky stuff left from the flavored oil, add into the chicken and shiitake. Make sure to get rid of the big chunk of ginger and garlic pieces, though.

Also, add 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp black pepper into the chicken. Mix everything and set it aside.

When you are ready to serve the ramen, bring a pot of water to boil to cook ramen noodles and bring the broth to boil.

Cook the ramen noodles by following the package you’re using. Drain completely. 

Add 1/4 cup of spicy miso tare, 1 Tbsp flavored oil and 2 cups of boiling broth in a serving bowl.

Add the cooked noodles into the bowl and stir- so the noodles will be coated evenly with the broth.

Arrange kimchi, chicken mixture, chopped green onion, ramen egg, and nori. If you like to, sprinkle some shichimi.
