Ingredients

Scale

Broth and Aromatics

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken stock (or broth of choice)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables and Noodles

  • 5–6 leaves baby bokchoy, chopped or left whole
  • 4 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

Proteins and Garnishes

  • 1 pound grilled chicken, sliced
  • 2 soft boiled eggs, halved
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat Aromatics: Add the sesame oil into a large pot and heat it over medium heat. Stir in minced garlic and ginger paste, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant to build the flavor base.
  2. Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they soften and release their juices, enhancing the broth.
  3. Add Liquids and Soy Sauce: Pour in the chicken stock, water, and soy sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Boil and Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for approximately 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  5. Cook Baby Bokchoy: Add the baby bokchoy leaves to the simmering broth and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the leaves soften but still retain some bite.
  6. Soften Noodles: Remove the pot from heat. Immediately add the ramen noodles to the hot broth and let them sit for 2 minutes or until they loosen and soften without overcooking.
  7. Serve: Divide the noodles, broth, and vegetables evenly into serving bowls.
  8. Add Toppings: Top each bowl with sliced grilled chicken, halved soft boiled eggs, green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Discard the seasoning packets that come with ramen noodles to avoid overly salty or artificial flavors.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity for preferred saltiness.
  • Use homemade or low-sodium chicken stock for a healthier option.
  • Soft boiled eggs can be prepared by boiling eggs for 6-7 minutes and cooling immediately in ice water.
  • You can substitute grilled chicken with tofu or other protein for a vegetarian variation.
