Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess water by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object, like a skillet, on top for 10-15 minutes.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then grill or sear it in a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 teaspoon of neutral cooking oil until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Let it rest, then slice it into thin strips.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Lower the heat, then gently add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for soft yolks. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel and set aside.
Cut the pressed tofu into cubes. Heat 1 teaspoon of neutral cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the miso paste, soy sauce, and Sriracha or chili paste. Cook for 1 minute to combine the flavors.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring well to dissolve the miso. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes.
Cook the ramen noodles in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Add spinach or bok choy to the simmering broth and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the ramen bowls by dividing the cooked noodles among them. Ladle the hot broth and vegetables over the noodles.
Top each bowl with sliced chicken, crispy tofu cubes, a soft-boiled egg (sliced in half), and sliced green onions.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish and serve hot. Enjoy your High Protein Spicy Miso Ramen!
