Pressure Cooker Miso Chicken Ramen With Bok Choy Recipes

Steps:

• Put the chicken legs in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker, and crumble the miso on top. Add the scallions, garlic cloves, shiitake mushrooms (if using) and 6 cups water. Stir well to combine. Cook until the chicken is tender, at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours on low. If it's more convenient, you can let the slow cooker switch to warm after 6 hours. The soup will hold on warm for about another 2 hours before the chicken begins to dry out.
• Switch the heat to high. With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken, scallions, garlic and shiitakes, and place in a bowl. Set aside to cool. Stir in kombu, bok choy, tamari and mirin. Cover and let cook until the bok choy is wilted and tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove and discard the kombu. Coarsely shred chicken meat into the soup, discarding the skin, bone, scallions, garlic and shiitakes. Taste the soup and whisk in a few more spoonfuls of miso or tamari, if desired.
• Divide the noodles among 4 or 5 bowls, and ladle the soup on top. Top each with sliced scallion, a halved soft boiled egg, sesame seeds and a piece of nori.

Steps:

• 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.
