Ingredients
- 6 cups Chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Miso paste
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 packs Ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
- 2 units Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 units Bok choy, halved
- 2 units Eggs
- 3 units Scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 sheet Nori sheets, cut into strips
- 1 teaspoon Chili oil (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add grated ginger and minced garlic, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 2
Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a low simmer. Stir in the soy sauce and miso paste until fully dissolved.
Step 3
While the broth is simmering, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.
Step 4
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and halved bok choy to the simmering broth. Let them cook for 5 minutes until tender.
Step 5
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 6
Soft-boil the eggs: Carefully lower the eggs into a pot of boiling water and cook for 6 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, then peel and slice in half.
Step 7
To assemble, divide the cooked noodles among four bowls. Ladle the hot broth with vegetables over the noodles.
Step 8
Top each bowl with sliced chicken, a soft-boiled egg, sliced scallions, and nori strips. Drizzle with chili oil for extra heat, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Extra Special Ramen Noodle Soup!
