Chicken Miso Ramen

Every so often I get a craving for ramen. This will become an issue in Philadelphia, as there's no Shinsengumi (my favorite ramen place). Perhaps this recipe will come in handy, then.

Recipe from Momofuki For 2.

Ingredients
Serves 2
4 cups of chicken stock
2 tablespoons shiro miso (white miso)
1 1/2 cups shredded chicken
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 cup of corn
1 tablespoon of butter
2 cups spinach
2 eggs
2 servings of ramen noodles

Optional Garnish:
sliced green onions
nori
sesame seeds

Directions
Heat up your chicken stock and gently stir in the miso until it is mixed in. Taste and add more miso if needed. Miso pastes vary in saltiness, so adjust accordingly.

Bring a pot of water to boil for the eggs. Gently lower them into the boiling water and cook for 6 minutes. Remove from the water and run them under cold tap water until they are cool to the touch. Peel and slice in half.

Heat the butter over medium heat and add the corn. Stir to coat each kernel of corn in butter. Set aside.

Blanch the spinach in salted boiling water until just wilted. Remove from the water and set aside.

Cook the ramen noodles according to the package, drain and place in the bottom of two large bowls.

Top the ramen with the shredded chicken, thinly sliced onions, egg, corn, spinach and a sprinkling of garnish. Enjoy!
