Instructions
Miso Ramen
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until they begin to caramelize. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and stir for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the water and chicken bouillon and simmer for 20 minutes over medium heat. Meanwhile, make the chicken katsu.
- Add miso paste, coconut milk, chili paste, and soy sauce. Stir well and bring to a boil.
- After boiling the broth, reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the instant noodles. Simmer for 5 minutes more or until the noodles are soft. Add the fresh spinach leaves and simmer for five more minutes.
- Divide the noodles between 4 bowls. Then, spoon over the broth and top with the chicken, soft boiled eggs, green onions, nori, and chicken katsu.
Chicken Katsu
- Whisk the egg into a medium bowl. Dip the chicken into the beaten eggs.
- Mix the all purpose flour and salt together in a shallow dish and coat the chicken. Press firmly enough to get a coating all over the chicken.
- Add the panko and sesame seeds to a shallow dish. Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture again, and then into the breadcrumbs. Press firmly enough to cover all the chicken in the panko breadcrumbs.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350° F. Place the chicken into the air fryer basket and spray olive oil on both sides. Air fry for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let the chicken cool for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
