Ingredients

Tare

½ teaspoon Sesame Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Ginger (Minced)

Soup Base

1 cup Chicken stock
1 piece Dried Seaweed (Wakame or Kombu work)
1 teaspoon Mirin
1 teaspoon Soy sauce
¼ teaspoon Bonito flakes
1 teaspoon Sugar

Main Components

4 oz Chicken Thigh (Boneless, skinless)
1 serving Ramen Noodles
¼ Yellow Onion

Toppings

1 Soft boiled Egg
½ teaspoon Scallions (For garnish)
¼ teaspoon Togarashi
¼ teaspoon Furikake

Instructions

Cook the chicken – Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces, removing the excess fat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a pan, cook the chicken thoroughly, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Set the cooked chicken aside.
Make the tare – Mince the garlic and ginger into small pieces, then sauté in the saucepan with the sesame oil for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Simmer the broth – Add in the chicken broth with the kelp, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, bonito flakes, and onion. Let simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
Cook the noodles – In a separate pot, cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
Assemble the bowl – Strain the stock. Add the noodles into a bowl and pour the stock over it. Top with the cooked chicken, roasted seaweed, egg, furikake, togarashi, and scallions, along with any other additional toppings you’d like.

Notes

Substitutions and Variations

Switch up the toppings – Ramen toppings vary a lot so feel free to use what you like. Some other popular ones include pickled ginger, ramen, mushroom and corn.

Expert Tips

Cook the noodles separately – Cooking the noodles directly in the broth will result in the broth becoming overly starchy.

Simmer broth at low heat – This will result in a delicious flavor from the simmered ingredients, such as the seaweed and tare.
