- Chicken & Marinade: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 clove garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil.
- Noodles: 6 ounces soba noodles or whole wheat spaghetti.
- Broth & Vegetables: 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced, 1 medium carrot, julienned, 2 cups baby bok choy, trimmed and halved, ½ cup snow peas, ends trimmed, 2 cups baby spinach or kale.
- Toppings: 2 soft-boiled eggs (halved), 2 scallions (sliced), 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, 1 sheet nori (strips), Chili oil or Sriracha.
Instructions
- Step 1
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Step 2
- Add the chicken, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 8 hours).
- Step 3
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook soba noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and toss with a few drops of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- Step 4
- While the noodles cook, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove excess marinade from the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Step 5
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- Step 6
- In a clean soup pot, bring chicken broth and water to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon miso paste until fully dissolved.
- Step 7
- Add mushrooms, carrots, bok choy, and snow peas. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are just tender. Stir in spinach or kale and remove from heat.
- Step 8
- Divide the noodles between two bowls. Arrange sliced chicken on top and ladle hot broth and vegetables over the noodles.
- Step 9
- Top each bowl with soft-boiled egg halves, scallions, sesame seeds, cilantro, and nori strips. Drizzle with chili oil or Sriracha if desired.
- Step 10
- Serve immediately while hot for best flavor and texture.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure the best texture, store leftover broth separately from noodles and toppings to prevent sogginess. Required tools for this recipe include mixing bowls, a whisk, a chef's knife, a grill pan, and a strainer.

Antworten auf häufige Fragen
- → Kann ich dieses Gericht vegetarisch zubereiten?
Ja, ersetzen Sie das Huhn durch extra-festen Tofu und verwenden Sie Gemüsebrühe anstelle von Hühnerbrühe. Marinieren Sie den Tofu ähnlich wie das Huhn für besten Geschmack.
- → Wie lange kann ich das Huhn marinieren?
Minimum 30 Minuten, aber bis zu 8 Stunden im Kühlschrank. Über Nacht marinieren bringt tiefere Aromen - lassen Sie das Huhn vor dem Kochen Raumtemperatur erreichen.
- → Kann ich Soba-Nudeln ersetzen?
Ja, Vollweizenspaghetti, Reisnudeln oder Udon-Nudeln funktionieren gut. Für glutenfrei wählen Sie 100% Buchweizen-Soba oder glutenfreie Nudeln mit Tamari statt Sojasauce.
- → Wie bewahre ich Reste auf?
Lagern Sie Brühe getrennt von Nudeln und Toppings, um ein Aufweichen zu verhindern. Im Kühlschrank bis zu 3 Tage. Erwärmen Sie die Brühe separat und fügen Sie frische Nudeln hinzu.
- → Welche anderen Gemüse kann ich verwenden?
Brokkoli, Edamame, Zuckererbsen oder grüne Bohnen passen hervorragend. Anpassen je nach Saison und Vorliebe - die Basis bleibt die gleiche.
