You can also watch the full video for more tip and detailed instructions: https://youtu.be/xeUEPR6EzxY. Hope you like the recipe and give it a try!

Ingredients

• stewing chicken

• 1/2 inch ginger sliced

• 1 leek

• 1 large sweet onion quartered

• 1 head garlic crushed

• 8 dried shiitake mushrooms or fresh shiitake mushrooms

• 1/2 cup bonito flakes (adjust the amount to your taste)

• 1 sheet kombu

• 1 tbsp sesame paste or crushed sesame seeds OPTIONAL

• 1/2 cup total of white + red miso

• 3 quarts water

Instructions

  1. Cut the leek in half and wash thoroughly. Then cut it into 1-inch pieces. Wash the chicken, and cut into large pieces.

  2. For Instant Pot, heat the pot using "Saute" setting, and press "Adjust" once so it's switched from "Normal" to "More" for browning.

  3. Once it's hot, add the ginger, garlic, onion, and leek. Stir occasionally so it's not burnt at the bottom. Saute the vegetables for 10 minutes till softened. Add shiitake mushrooms, chicken, bonito flakes, and water. cover with the lid. Use the "Manual" setting and set the timer for 60 minutes.

  4. After the broth is done, submerge the kombu into the broth for 10 minutes. Covered with the lid. Strain the broth using a colander. In a medium saucepan, add 1 quart (for 2 servings) of broth and bring it to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of white miso, 1 tablespoon of red miso and sesame paste (optional). Mix well.

  5. In a bowl with ramen noodles, add 1/2 quart of the miso broth, and any toppings that you like. Enjoy and don't forget to slurp your noodles!

Fantastic! We love ramen in our household so I'm looking forward to making this. Would this recipe make 6 servings? I see you mention that 1 quart makes 2 servings, so I imagine that there is 3 quarts of broth and 6 servings based on the amount of water?

[–]iceorrice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes. I'd say 6-8 servings. I love to have a lot of broth in my ramen. So half quart is just enough for my appetite:)

Sounds really good and I keep most of the ingredients around the house so handy. Not sure i want to use up quite that much miso paste (and was that 1 cup total?), kombu or bonito flakes, but wouldn't usually be cooking for that many so could use less.

A little confused about the chicken though. 60 min on Manual would cook the heck out of chicken...do you really need that long with it included? And what gives the small chicken pieces in the pic their dark brown color?

[–]z400 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Hmm, I watched the video and it says that's braised pork belly.

[–]DianeBcurious 0 points1 point  (1 child)

(I didn't watch the video, just saw the posted pic and read the recipe. Guess the chicken is just underneath the "toppings.")

[–]iceorrice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use stewing chicken which gives the broth incredible flavor and the spent chicken is strained out and tossed.

[–]iceorrice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1/2 cup total of both miso pastes. 1 cup would be way to salty. I use braised pork belly for the topping. You can put anything you want.

Is that 1/2 cup of miso total, or 1/2 cup of white and 1/2 cup of red?

[–]iceorrice[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Sorry, it's confusing. It's 1/2 cup of miso total. For 1 quart of the broth, I use 1 tbsp of red miso and 2 tbsp of white miso. Adjust the amount to your taste.

[–]Rextyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks!

[–]velvetpants0124 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Isn't the recipe missing water though?

[–]iceorrice[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah!! You're right! I just added it to the recipe. Thank you for pointing it out!

[–]velvetpants0124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thanks.

Looks less fishy than last time. I'll give it a go again!

Is sesame paste similar to tahini?

[–]iceorrice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Almost the same, but normally tahini is not toasted

Awesome! I was really excited to see this recipe uploaded. Looks like I have a new go to IP recipe. Yummmm

[–]kaidomac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, been looking for a good IP ramen recipe to try!

[–]tatochipcookie 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This looks terrific! Does anyone know what would happen if we don't use bonito? (really strong allergies to fish here) Would using more kombu offset the loss of umami?

[–]iceorrice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll be still delicious without bonito flakes (seafood flavor). It's an optional ingredient as some people don't like its fishy taste. Adding more kombu is a great idea.

This looks amazing! Any tips for making the special eggs like in the picture?

[–]iceorrice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! There're instructions here at the bottom of the page. Use the tare sauce (included in the recipe) to marinate the soft boiled eggs at least 3 hours.

Anyone try to freeze the leftovers?

[–]iceorrice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you definitely can freeze the broth. I did it a few times.
