Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

Broth

  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 3 tbsp Miso Paste
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tsp Chili Flakes (adjust to taste)

Aromatics

  • 2 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Scallions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger. Having everything ready will make the cooking process a breeze.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. This step builds a flavorful base for the broth.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot, cooking until they are browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure the chicken is evenly cooked to achieve a tender texture.
  4. Create the Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the miso paste and soy sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle in the chili flakes and let the broth simmer for an additional 5 minutes. This will enhance the broth’s spiciness and overall flavor profile.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and ginger will elevate the flavor; avoid pre-minced options if possible.
  • Adjust the Spice: Feel free to tailor the amount of chili flakes to your spice tolerance.
  • Quality Miso: Invest in a good quality miso paste for the best flavor; different types of miso can change the taste.
  • Don’t Rush the Sauté: Allow the garlic and ginger to become aromatic; this step is crucial for flavor.
  • Garnish Generously: Fresh scallions not only add flavor but also make the dish visually appealing.
