Description

A warm and comforting ramen noodle soup made with chicken and fresh veggies.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth (Use homemade or store-bought for convenience.)
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce (For gluten-free, substitute with gluten-free soy sauce.)
  • 2 packs Ramen Noodles (Use instant or fresh varieties, omit seasoning packets.)
  • 2 pieces Boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts (Frozen chicken can be used; adjust cooking time.)
  • 2 stalks Scallions (You can use chives if scallions aren’t available.)
  • 1 cup Bok Choy (Can swap for spinach or favorite greens.)
  • 2 pieces Boiled Eggs (Halved for serving.)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (Toasted seeds for stronger flavor.)
  • 1 sheet Nori (Use for authentic ramen touch or skip.)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine 4 cups of chicken broth with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  2. Slice 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips. Once the broth is boiling, gently add the chicken pieces and cook for about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Chop scallions and bok choy. After the chicken is cooked, incorporate the vegetables into the broth and let them cook for 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add 2 packs of ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes for fresh or 5 minutes for instant.
  5. Evenly divide the cooked ramen noodles among four bowls. Ladle the hot broth, chicken, and vegetables over the noodles.
  6. Adorn each bowl with halved boiled eggs, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or strips of nori to finish.
