Ingredients:

• 200g ramen noodles
• 2 boneless chicken breasts, sliced thinly
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced thinly
• 1 cup napa cabbage, shredded
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp miso paste
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
• 2 green onions, sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add more oil if necessary, and sauté the onions until translucent. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add the carrots, bell pepper, and napa cabbage to the pot, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender.
5. Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, miso paste, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil and then let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the pot, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Divide the cooked ramen noodles into bowls, and ladle the hot soup and vegetables over the top.
8. Garnish with fresh bean sprouts and sliced green onions before serving.

Helpful Tips:

If you’re new to making ramen, prepare the ingredients ahead of time, so you can move smoothly through the steps. Always taste the broth before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed. For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth.

Storage Instructions:

Leftover ramen can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a bit more broth if needed.

Ingredient Substitutions:

If you don’t have miso paste, you can omit it or replace it with a bit more soy sauce. Brown rice noodles can be used as a gluten-free alternative to ramen noodles. For added spice, include a dash of chili oil or sriracha.

Pairings:

This Chicken Tanmen Ramen pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed edamame or a light cucumber salad. For drinks, green tea or a refreshing glass of iced jasmine tea makes a perfect companion.
