Pressure Cooker Miso Chicken Ramen with Bok Choy

Ingredients

3 to 3½ pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

½ heaping cup sweet white or yellow miso, plus more to taste

2 scallions, trimmed and halved, plus more for serving

4 dried shiitake mushrooms, halved (optional)

3 garlic cloves, smashed

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water

1 pound baby bok choy, cored and roughly chopped

2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce, plus more to taste

2 tablespoons mirin, plus more to taste

12 to 16 ounces fresh or dried ramen, cooked and drained

Soft-boiled eggs, sesame seeds and toasted nori sheets, for serving

Directions

Put the chicken thighs in a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker and crumble the miso on top. Add the scallions, mushrooms (if using), garlic and broth or water. Stir well to combine. Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid.

Remove the scallions with tongs or a slotted spoon. (If they are overcooked, discard them. If they are not, chop them and add them back to the soup.) Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the bone-in chicken to a bowl to cool. (If using boneless chicken thighs, you can shred them directly in the pot.)

Stir the bok choy, tamari and mirin into the pot. Using the sauté function, cook until the bok choy is wilted but still brightly colored, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the chicken bones, shred it and add it back to the pot.

Taste the soup and whisk in a few more spoonfuls of miso or tamari, if desired. If the soup tastes too salty, add some water and mirin.

Divide the noodles among four or five bowls and ladle the soup on top. Top each with sliced fresh scallions, a halved soft-boiled egg, sesame seeds and a piece of nori.
