This Instant Pot Miso Ramen is the perfect way to enjoy an authentic Japanese meal from the comforts of your own home, with homemade chicken stock, ramen, shredded chicken, green onion, and a ramen egg.
Place the chicken carcass, onion, garlic, and ginger in the Instant Pot with 6 cups water.
Close and lock the lid. Set the vent to sealing. Pressure cook on high for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water. Cook at a low boil for 7 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath. Once cooled, peel them and set them in a bowl of soy sauce. Occasionally roll the egg around in the soy sauce to marinate all sides. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
When the pressure cook time is up, do a 15-minute pressure release then release remaining pressure. Remove the solids from the stock with a slotted spoon. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve. Pull any chicken off the bone. Set the broth and chicken aside.
Turn on saute mode on the Instant Pot. Add oil to the pot. When hot, add with mushrooms and saute for 3 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Saute 2 more minutes.
Stir in miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil.
Add the chicken broth to the pot. Turn the pot to Keep Warm. Set the lid on for 20 minutes.
With 5 minutes remaining, add the noodles and the chicken meat. Put the lid back on for 5 minutes.
Ladle the ramen into bowls. Slice the soft boiled egg in half and add it to the bowl. Top with other desired garnishes.
Notes
The broth and soft-boiled eggs can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until ready to use. This makes assembling the ramen quick and easy for busy weeknights.
Be mindful not to overcook the soft-boiled eggs to ensure a creamy yolk consistency. Seven minutes of boiling typically yields the perfect soft-boiled egg, but adjust the cooking time based on personal preference.
Ramen is best enjoyed fresh and hot. Serve immediately after assembling to prevent noodles from becoming soggy and toppings from losing their crunch.
If you want an easier version, use pre-made chicken stock.
