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
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the pot and sear them on both sides until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred the meat using two forks. Set aside.

Step 5

Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and bok choy to the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the shredded chicken, bok choy, mushrooms, and broth.

Step 8

Finish with garnishes: add halved soft-boiled eggs, chopped scallions, and strips of seaweed sheets to each bowl.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
