Start by preparing the chicken breast. Slice it into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are browned and cooked through.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Add them to the pot with the cooked chicken and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add the soy sauce. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
While the broth is heating, rinse the Miracle Noodles thoroughly under cold water, and then boil them for about 2-3 minutes separately. This helps remove any excess starch and improves the texture.
Once the broth is simmering, add the shredded cabbage and cook for about 3-4 minutes until tender.
Stir in the spinach and let it wilt for about 1 minute.
Add the prepared Miracle Noodles to the pot, and season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Chop the scallions into fine pieces and add most of them to the soup, reserving some for garnish.
Serve the ramen hot in bowls, topped with fresh scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
