Ingredients

• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 2 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mirin
• 1 tablespoon Ginger root, sliced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 12 ounces Ramen noodles
• 4 Green onions, sliced
• 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 4 Soft-boiled eggs, halved
• 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 Nori sheets, cut into strips
• 0 Salt, to taste

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, combine chicken broth, water, soy sauce, mirin, sliced ginger, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 3

Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken using two forks.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooling, strain the broth to remove the ginger and garlic pieces, returning the clear broth to the pot.

Step 5

Add the ramen noodles and shiitake mushrooms to the broth. Cook according to package instructions until noodles are tender.

Step 6

In a small frying pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the sliced green onions and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 7

Return the shredded chicken to the pot with the noodles. Add the fresh spinach leaves and let them wilt into the soup.

Step 8

Season the broth with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 9

To serve, divide the noodle soup among bowls. Top each with halved soft-boiled eggs, sautéed green onions, and nori strips.

Step 10

Garnish with additional toppings as desired and serve hot.
