Storage & Reheating
If you have leftovers, store the broth and noodles separately. This prevents the noodles from getting too soft. They will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the broth on the stove until it is hot.

Recipe Tips for Best Results
- Don’t skip the ice bath for the egg.
- Use a timer for the egg to get that creamy yolk.
- Always dissolve miso in a small bowl first.
- This prevents salty clumps in your delicious broth.
- Slice the chicken thinly so it cooks very fast.
- Add a splash of soy sauce for extra umami flavor.
- For a winter boost, add extra fresh ginger.
- Use high-quality bone broth for the best nutrition.
Ways to Switch It Up
- Swap chicken for firm tofu for a vegetarian option.
- Add a drizzle of sriracha for a spicy kick.
- Use spinach if you cannot find baby bok choy.

- In summer, swap the bok choy for fresh zucchini ribbons.
Quick Answers
Can I use regular ramen noodles?
Yes, you can use any noodles you like. The high-protein ones just add extra nutrition. Regular noodles will still taste absolutely delicious in this broth.
Is miso paste hard to find?
Most grocery stores carry it in the refrigerated section. Look near the tofu or produce. It lasts a long time and adds wonderful flavor.
How do I know the chicken is done?
The chicken should be white all the way through. Since it is sliced thin, it cooks very quickly. Five to seven minutes is usually perfect.
I hope this cozy bowl of high protein homemade ramen warms your winter nights. It is the perfect way to feel good while eating something you love. Give it a try tonight and enjoy every slurp!
