Cooking Steps
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice cucumber into rounds.
• 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).
• 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°.

Reviews from our home cooks
The broth was delicious and rich, with the chicken & vegs it was sooo tasty I could've easily eaten both portions. Also what the heck, I received the TINIEST cucumber anyone could possibly imagine (it was maybe the length of my thumb) so I ended up putting the pickled cucumber & scallions on top of my rice since there wasn't enough to qualify as a side. Still it was a very good light meal, my only suggestion might be to substitute low-sodium soy sauce since the miso is also salty. Much yum, will eat again.
I love this dish so much. Great miso flavor, loved the bok choy! Might add extra next time just because I loved it so much.
I was skeptical about this meal, but it really wowed me! It was quite delicious, and I would order it again. I was a little annoyed because the cucumber, bok choy and carrots were all bad, so I had to go to the store to buy replacement ingredients. However, it was totally worth it. So delicious
Such a simple and healthy recipe that gives the same comforting feeling of a good chicken noodle soup. I would happily get this again.
Very easy to make and I took it a step further in making the rice crispy and turned it into sizzling rice soup. So delicious!!!!
Pretty tasty - under seasoned. Too much water and not enough vegetables. I cut the water in half so that we could taste the miso, which worked out well. I also added in two bok choy and the green beans from last week, carrots not really suitable to the dish
The tangy crisp of the cucumbers mixed with the hearty soup and fresh rice was delicious!
A new favorite! Perfect winter soup, but I hope it'll be available year round. Chicken was tender and moist, cucumbers added a great texture and flavor.
This was a really good soup. Ate mine over the rice. Will definitely order this again if it's a meal choice
The soup had so much flavor and such a simple recipe it was amazing.
