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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
