Easy Miso Chicken Ramen

Warm up a chilly evening with this healthy chicken-and-vegetable ramen noodle bowl recipe. For a little spice, top with hot sauce, such as Sriracha. Look for dried curly Chinese-style noodles near other Asian ingredients in most well-stocked supermarkets. For a substitute, try whole-wheat angel hair pasta and cook for a few minutes longer.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, divided
1 bunch scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
4 cups water
3 tablespoons white miso (see tip)
1 ½ tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 ¼ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed, cut into bite-size pieces
8 cups chopped bok choy
4 ounces dried chinese noodles, broken in half
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced (2 cups sliced)

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add water, miso, soy sauce and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; bring to a boil. Stir in chicken, bok choy, noodles and mushrooms. Cover and return to a boil. Uncover, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with the scallion greens.
