Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 servings of fresh ramen noodles
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon miso paste
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon chili paste or sriracha (adjust to spice preference)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup sliced green onions
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- Soft boiled eggs (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of sesame oil. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until fully cooked and golden brown on both sides. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Stir in chili paste or sriracha, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, and miso paste. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring well to combine all flavors. Bring to a simmer to let the spice meld into the broth.
- Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. In the last minute of cooking, toss in the sliced mushrooms and green onions for added flavor and texture.
- Divide the cooked noodles and broth into bowls. Top each with sliced spicy chicken, a soft-boiled egg cut in half, and additional green onions. For extra heat, sprinkle more red pepper flakes or hot sauce. Serve immediately for peak flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by customizing the amount of chili paste or red pepper flakes.
- Use high-quality ramen noodles for authentic texture and taste.
- For a creamier broth, add a splash of coconut milk or heavy cream.
- Marinate the chicken in soy and garlic before cooking for extra flavor.
- Add fresh herbs like cilantro for a bright finish.
