Instructions
Creating a delightful Chicken Ramen requires a few straightforward steps. Follow these instructions, and you’ll have a steaming bowl of happiness ready in no time!
1. Cook the Chicken: In a pot over medium heat, add sesame oil. Once heated, add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 4–5 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in Broth: Add the chicken broth and soy sauce to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Slice Chicken: While the broth heats, slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
5. Add Noodles: Once the broth is boiling, add the ramen noodles. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 3–4 minutes.
6. Add Vegetables: Just before the noodles finish cooking, add the sliced mushrooms and baby spinach into the broth.
7. Combine: Stir all ingredients together gently for about a minute until everything is well combined.
8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with sliced chicken, green onions, and, if using, a soft-boiled egg. Drizzle with chili oil for an added kick, if desired.
