This is so satisfying and quick to put together for any weeknight meal and you can dress it up with whatever additions you have available.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 2-3 cloves Fresh garlic minced
  • 2 tsp Fresh ginger minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoon Mirin
  • 1 Tablespoon Oyster sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Fish sauce see notes
  • 2 teaspoons MSG
  • 2 teaspoons Chicken seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon Chicken Better Than Bullion
  • 2 Tablespoons White miso see notes
  • 6 cups Chicken stock homemade or bought
  • 1 can Sweet Whole Kernel Corn 15 ounces
  • Leftover rotisserie chicken diced or shredded, optional
  • 1 Large egg

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, add the oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for a few minutes until softened. Add the soy sauce, mirin, oyster sauce, fish sauce, MSG, chicken seasoning and miso and stir to combine. Cook for another minute.
  • Slightly scramble the egg, then add the egg to the broth and stir to thicken the broth.
  • Add the stock, cover and bring to a simmer.
  • In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles until al dente (just before fully cooked to avoid overcooking them). Drain the water. Toss the noodles with some oil to prevent sticking.
  • In each serving bowl place the noodles, corn and chicken (if desired); ladle broth over and serve.

Notes

  • You can use whatever miso flavor you like, if you want a heartier flavor the Hikari Haccho miso is really good. Light or white miso has some flavor but not a lot if you prefer a more delicate flavor.
  • To prevent the Miso from sitting in a clump at the bottom of the stock, using a ladle add the miso and scoop some of the hot broth into it. Using a separate spoon stir and smash the miso in the ladle until the miso is fully incorporated.
  • I use the Three Crabs Brand Fish Sauce it has 3 crabs on the bottle the best fish sauce at an HMart or Pacifica Ocean Market.
  • Try this with or without leftover rotisserie chicken, or maybe add green onions, peppers, mushrooms, celery -- the list is endless!
