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

  • 12 tablespoons chili paste

Scallions

  • 2 sliced scallions

Sesame Oil

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot, cooking until they are no longer pink on the outside, around 5-7 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
