# Instructions:
01 -
Place a large pot or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Cook sliced bacon until it’s crispy, about 5 minutes. Toss in garlic, shallots, ginger, and pepper flakes, cooking for another 3 minutes while stirring for a caramelized mix.
02 -
Pour in chicken broth, coconut milk, and soy sauce. Whisk in miso and chili paste to create a smooth base. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
03 -
Combine the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Sprinkle salt generously. Press the chicken cutlets firmly into the coating, making sure the breadcrumbs stick well.
04 -
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they’re crispy and golden. Move to a cutting board, slice into thin pieces, and sprinkle with salt.
05 -
Stir spinach, noodles, and the toasted sesame oil into the broth. Let it sit off the heat for around 5 minutes, allowing the noodles to soften.
06 -
Divide noodles into bowls, pour the hot broth over them, and top with sliced chicken. Add eggs, green onions, sesame seeds, and chili oil. Serve while it’s steamy!
