A comforting and flavorful soup combining tender chicken, hearty udon noodles, and a rich miso broth.
Mix the miso paste with a small amount of warm water in a bowl until smooth.
Mixing the miso with warm water ensures it dissolves evenly into the soup.
In a large saucepan, combine the water, ginger, and chopped green onions. Bring to a boil.
Boiling the ginger and green onions infuses the broth with their flavors.
Add the chicken breasts to the saucepan and simmer until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Ensure the chicken is fully submerged in the broth for even cooking.
Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the saucepan along with the snow peas and udon noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender.
Shredding the chicken allows it to absorb more of the broth's flavor.
Stir in the miso mixture and let it warm through without boiling.
Avoid boiling the miso to preserve its delicate flavor and nutrients.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions.
Adding the green onions at the end provides a fresh and vibrant touch.
