Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 packs instant ramen noodles (without seasoning packets)
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 heads bok choy, halved or quartered
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 4 soft-boiled eggs, halved
- 2 seaweed sheets (nori), cut into strips
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chicken thighs to the pot and sear them on both sides until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and add soy sauce and mirin (if using). Cover and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the chicken to become tender and the flavors to meld.
Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred the meat using two forks. Set aside.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and bok choy to the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the shredded chicken, bok choy, mushrooms, and broth.
Finish with garnishes: add halved soft-boiled eggs, chopped scallions, and strips of seaweed sheets to each bowl.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
