Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

  2. 2

    Wash and dry produce.

    While rice cooks, trim, peel, and halve carrots lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

    Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken, carrots, scallion whites, and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in bok choy and napa cabbage, miso sauce concentrates, soy sauce, and 2 cups water (4 cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until veggies are tender, 4-6 minutes.

    Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice cucumber into rounds.

  5. 5

    In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, scallion greens, vinegar, ½ tsp sugar, and ½ tsp salt (1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp salt for 4 servings).

  6. 6

    Fluff rice with a fork; divide between small serving bowls.

    Ladle miso soup into separate soup bowls. Serve soup and rice with cucumber salad on the side.

    Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
