Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast or thighs
6 oz ramen noodles (instant or fresh)
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1–2 tablespoons chili oil or chili paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 green onions, chopped
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Sear in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through. Let rest and slice.
2. In a soup pot, heat sesame oil. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant.
3. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, and chili oil or paste. Bring to a simmer.
4. Stir in coconut milk or heavy cream and simmer gently while preparing noodles.
5. Boil ramen noodles as per package, drain, and rinse lightly under warm water.
6. In a separate pot, boil eggs for 6–7 minutes. Chill in ice water, peel, and slice.
7. Assemble bowls with noodles, broth, sliced chicken, eggs, and green onions. Add extra chili oil if desired.
Notes
Use heavy cream instead of coconut milk if you prefer a dairy base.
To save time, prep the broth a day ahead—it gets better with time.
For extra richness, stir a spoonful of miso into the broth before serving.
