Ingredients and substitutions
- Eggs: I usually go with one egg per person. You want the eggs to be soft boiled with a yolk being just a bit runny. You can try cooking the eggs using my instant pot eggs tutorial or if you have the time, try making ramen eggs.
- Garlic and ginger: These are essential ingredients to have on hand if you want the broth to be jam-packed with flavor.
- Soy sauce: Since we are using chicken broth as well, make sure the soy sauce is low sodium.
- Chicken broth: It's best to use low sodium chicken broth for this recipe. You can also use vegetable broth or just water.
- Vegetables: I used baby bella mushrooms and bok choy for this chicken ramen recipe. You can also use shiitake or white button mushrooms and use other greens such as spinach.
- Chicken: I use boneless skinless chicken breast for this recipe and sear it first to lock in the juices before baking it. This way the chicken will be very juicy and tender.
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the noodles according to the packaging.
- Make the broth: Sauté garlic and ginger for a minute. Add the soy sauce and the chicken stock and bring it to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes. Add the mushrooms and bok choy and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Prepare the chicken: While the broth is being cooked, season the chicken and and sear it in a pan. Then finish cooking in the oven.
- Cook the eggs: Fill a saucepan with water and gently place the eggs in the saucepan. Place it over medium high heat and bring it to a boil. Cook the eggs for only 7 minutes. Drain and put them in a bowl full of ice water so they stop cooking.
- Assemble: To assemble the chicken ramen bowls, divide the noodles among the bowls, pour the broth over the cooked ramen noodles and top with cooked mushrooms, bok choy and sliced chicken. Finish with the egg and serve immediately.
