# Instructions:
01 -
Slice 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips; season with salt and pepper. In a separate pot, boil 4 large eggs for 7-8 minutes for jammy yolks, then cool and peel. These are the protein core for your Fiery Chicken Ramen: Protein-Packed & Spicy Garlic Broth.
02 -
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add 6 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
03 -
Pour in 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, and 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil. Stir in 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce and 1 tbsp white miso paste until dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. This forms the Fiery Garlic Broth Elixir.
04 -
Add the seasoned 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast strips to the simmering broth and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, cook 12 oz fresh or dried ramen noodles according to package directions until al dente.
05 -
While the chicken and noodles cook, thinly slice 4 scallions. Cut 2 sheets nori into thin strips. Halve the peeled 4 large eggs. These fresh accents will complete your Fiery Chicken Ramen: Protein-Packed & Spicy Garlic Broth.
06 -
Divide the cooked ramen noodles among four serving bowls. Ladle the hot Fiery Garlic Broth Elixir and chicken over the noodles. Arrange the halved eggs, sliced scallions, nori strips, and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For perfect jammy eggs, boil for exactly 6.5 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking.
02 -
If you prefer a milder ramen, reduce the chili garlic sauce to 1 tablespoon or omit it entirely. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
03 -
Store leftover broth and chicken separately from the noodles and garnishes in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat broth gently and add freshly cooked noodles.
04 -
Feel free to add other fresh vegetables like baby spinach, bean sprouts, or corn kernels to your ramen bowls for extra texture and nutrition.
