      Title: Slow-Cooker Chicken Ramen With Bok Choy & Miso
 Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Greens, Pasta
      Yield: 4 servings
 
  3 1/2 lb Chicken leg quarters;
           - skin-on
    1/2 c  Sweet white or yellow miso;
           - heaping, more to taste
      2    Scallions; trimmed, halved,
           - more for topping
      3 cl Garlic; smashed
      4    Dried shiitake mushrooms
           - (optional)
      1    Dried kombu piece (5x3")
           - (optional)
      1 lb Baby bok choy; cored, rough
           - chopped
      2 tb Tamari; more to taste
      2 tb Mirin; more to taste
     12 oz Ramen; up to 16 oz, cooked,
           - drained
           Eggs; soft boiled, for topping
           Sesame seeds; for topping
           Toasted nori sheets; for topping
 
  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.
