Instructions

Prepare the broth

In a large pot, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for 10 minutes.

Pro tip: Taste the broth and adjust seasoning as needed.

Cook the chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Let rest before slicing.

Pro tip: Slice chicken thinly to ensure even distribution in the bowl.

Cook the noodles

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Pro tip: Rinse noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Prepare the toppings

While the broth simmers, prepare toppings. Slice green onions, julienne the carrot, and wash the spinach.

Pro tip: Use a vegetable peeler for easy carrot julienning.

Assemble the bowls

Divide noodles among bowls. Top with sliced chicken, spinach, carrot, and halved soft-boiled eggs.

Finish and serve

Pour hot broth over assembled bowls. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Serve with a side of soy sauce for additional seasoning at the table.
