Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless chicken thighs or breasts
Miso Paste
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
Fresh Ginger
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
Garlic
- 3 cloves minced garlic
Vegetable Broth
- 4 cups vegetable broth
Chili Paste
- 1–2 tablespoons chili paste
Scallions

Sesame Oil

Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, grate the ginger, and mince the garlic. This will ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot, cooking until they are no longer pink on the outside, around 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Broth and Miso: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the miso paste until fully dissolved. This will create a rich, savory base for your broth.
- Spice It Up: Stir in the chili paste, adjusting the amount based on your heat preference. Let the broth simmer for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve hot and enjoy your Easy Miso-Ginger Chicken with Spicy Broth!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ginger and garlic will elevate the flavor of this dish significantly.
- Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Chicken can become tough if overcooked; keep an eye on it during the sautéing step.
- Taste and Adjust: Always taste your broth before serving; you may want to add more miso or chili paste.
- Garnish Generously: The garnishes not only add flavor but also a pop of color to the dish.
- Make it Ahead: This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop further.
