Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken
- 2 large eggs
- 2 quarts unsalted chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1" piece fresh ginger, peeled
- 3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste
- 4 ounces mushrooms, such as sliced shiitake or enoki, cleaned
- 3 large handfulls fresh baby spinach leaves (about 5 ounces)
- 10 ounces dried Japanese-style curly wheat noodles (I use two 5-ounce packages)
- 4 sheets nori (optional)
- 3 scallions, sliced very thin
- Togarashi seasoning, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Pull the chicken meat from the chicken and set aside.
- If making jammy eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Lower to a simmer. Add the eggs, making sure they are fully submerged in the water, and cook for exactly 8 1/2 minutes. Rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Peel and cut in half lengthwise. Set aside.PRO TIP: My method is to actually cut the eggs in half with a knife first, and then use a spoon to scoop the hemispheres from the shell in one neat move. No muss, no fuss!
- In a medium-sized pot, heat the stock, water, and chunk of ginger to a boil. Lower to a simmer.
- In a separate pot, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package directions. Drain, rinse, and divide among the bowls along with the nori sheets, if using. PRO TIP: I like to arrange the nori sheets upright against the side of the bowl, sticking above the rim. It gives a nice look.
- While the noodles cook: In a little bowl or cup, make a slurry with the miso paste and a tablespoon or two of water, whisking with a fork until smooth. Add to the simmering stock, along with the soy sauce, mushrooms, spinach, and chicken. Simmer until warmed through and the mushrooms and spinach soften and wilt, about 3 minutes. Taste for seasoning.TIP: Don't forget to fish out the chunk of ginger!
- Ladle the miso soup among the noodle bowls. Arrange a jammy egg on top, along with a generous amount of scallions. Serve immediately, with togarashi seasoning if you'd like a little spice.
