Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 4 cups chicken stock (low-sodium works great)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or sliced
  • 2 boiled eggs, halved
  • 1 cup baby spinach or bok choy
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, nori sheets, corn, or bean sprouts

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Pour in the chicken stock, soy sauce, miso paste, fish sauce, and chili oil. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. While the broth simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  4. Slice the cooked chicken, boil the eggs (if you haven’t already), and chop the green onions.
  5. Divide the noodles into bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, then top with chicken, eggs, spinach, green onions, and any optional toppings.
  6. Enjoy immediately while hot, and let everyone customize their bowls with extra toppings if desired.

Notes

[‘If your broth tastes too salty, add a splash of water or more chicken stock to balance it out.’, ‘Don’t overcook the noodles—they’ll continue to soften in the hot broth.’, ‘Taste as you go to adjust flavors like miso and chili oil.’, ‘Store leftover broth and toppings separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.’]
