Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 6 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 large shallot or 2 small, finely chopped
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled and thinly sliced
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 generous tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons chili paste like Gochujang or to taste
  • 4 squares ramen noodles
  • 1 10 oz bag baby spinach

Chicken Katsu

  • 4 chicken cutlets
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • salt to taste

Toppings

  • 2 eggs soft boiled, peeled and sliced in half
  • green onions sliced (just the green part)
  • 2 radishes thinly sliced
  • sesame seeds and red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallot, and ginger. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).
  • Add the broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, chili paste (more or less depending on how spicy you like it), and miso paste, whisking to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  • While the broth is cooking, heat a few tablespoons of neutral oil (like canola) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir together the Panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the Panko breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to make sure it adheres to the chicken.
  • Add the dredged cutlets to the hot skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate and season with a few sprinkles of salt. When it's cool enough to handle, slice the chicken into thin strips.
  • Add the ramen noodles and baby spinach to the broth. Cook at a low simmer for 3 minutes or until the noodles are soft (it may take less time depending on your noodles).
  • To serve, divide the noodles between 4 bowls, then ladle the broth over the top. Add the chicken and your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
