Miso Ramen.

Here is a very simple recipe for a miso ramen, the trick is to prepare all the ingredients beforehand, so you will need a few small dishes to accomodate them. The noodles and the miso paste are shop bought. The recipe is for 2  , or you can serve a smaller portions for 4 people if you have other courses.
400 gr chicken thighs
1 carrot
1 pack choi
a small bunch of spring onions
2 cloves of garlic (optional)
a small piece of ginger(optional)
2 soft boiled eggs
3-5 black peppercorns
half a red chilli pepper
1 onion
Miso paste
Ramen Noodles
1 tbsp of sesame oil

Firstly we need to make a stock for the soup. Put the chicken, onion, red and black pepper, 1 clove of garlic,half the ginger in the pot, add about 2ltr of water, bring to the boil, simmer for about 1 hr.

Strain the stock, put the meat aside.

Grate the carrot, chop up the pack choi, set aside.

Slice the spring onions as thin as possible, set aside.

Grate the rest of ginger, add crushed garlic to it(this will add extra heat to the noodles).

Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the wrapper, set aside in water.

Heat up the stock , add the carrot, pak choi and sesame oil to it, bring to the boil and simmer.

Put a heaped tbsp of miso paste inside a ladle, lower it in the stock and slowly stir it in with chopsticks (if you put miso paste directly in , it's rather difficult to stir in). Simmer for 3 min or so, don't bring to the boil as it will destroy the miso goodness!

Now it's time to assemble the dish; firstly drain the noodles of water and put them in, add chicken, egg, pour a generous amount of miso soup on it, serve with spring onions and if desired the hot garlic/ginger paste!

I also love toasted sesame seeds with it.
