Ingredients
  

For the Broth and Noodles

  • 4 cups chicken broth high-quality
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin or substitute with rice vinegar and a pinch of sugar
  • 1 tbsp gochujang or sriracha
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 servings of ramen noodles dried

For the Chicken and Toppings

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sliced shiitake or cremini mushrooms
  • 1 head bok choy chopped
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • A handful of fresh cilantro chopped
  • Chili oil or red pepper flakes optional, for extra heat

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir in the gochujang or sriracha until it's fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Cook the Chicken: While the broth simmers, heat the sesame oil in a separate skillet. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  • Boil the Eggs: In a small pot, carefully lower the eggs into boiling water and boil for 6-7 minutes for a perfect jammy yolk. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Once cooled, peel and slice in half.
  • Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a separate boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them well and divide them evenly between two large bowls.
  • Assemble the Ramen: Add the bok choy and mushrooms to the simmering broth and cook for 1-2 minutes until they are slightly tender. Ladle the hot broth and vegetables over the noodles in each bowl. Top with the sliced chicken, soft-boiled egg halves, scallions, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Drizzle with chili oil if you want an extra kick. This incredible spicy chicken ramen is now ready to enjoy.

Notes

For a richer broth, you can add a pinch of dashi powder.
