Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces ramen noodles
  • 1 cup bok choy chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: soft-boiled eggs for serving

Equipment

  • 1 large pot
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Stirring spoon
  • 1 Serving bowls

Method
 

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, heat the sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the pot and pour in the chicken broth and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, allowing it to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the pot.
  5. Add the ramen noodles, bok choy, mushrooms, and carrot to the broth. Cook according to the ramen noodle package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Stir in the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the ramen in bowls, garnished with sliced green onions and, if desired, a soft-boiled egg.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store any leftover ramen in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm on the stove over low heat, adding a bit of water if needed to loosen the broth.
Variations:
- Substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
- Add other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini.
- For a spicy kick, include sriracha or chili oil in the broth.
- Use miso paste for additional depth of flavor in the broth.
