While the broth and chicken are cooking, prepare the following ingredients: miso paste (white or brown kind will work best here), dry ramen noodles (the 'instant' kind will take about 2 minutes to cook, while other types might need 5 minutes), some Asian greens or broccoli, sweet corn out of a can or cooked from fresh or frozen, boiled eggs and any other toppings like extra onions or seaweed. Miso, noodles and greens will be cooked in the finished broth using the Saute function of the Instant Pot right at the end.
