Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 4 boneless chicken thighs 370g / 13 oz
Ramen Broth
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated (6g)
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 medium red chilli diced (14g)
- 1 ¾ cup chicken broth 400ml
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2.8 oz mushrooms 80g, I used shiitake
Add-Ins & Toppings
- 2 large eggs
- 3.5 oz konjac noodles 100 g, or kelp noodles
- 1 small bok choy halved (100g / 3.5 oz)
- 1 zucchini sliced with a julienne peeler (150g)
- 2 tablespoon scallions green part, sliced fine (10g)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds option to toast
Instructions
Chicken
- Grease a griddle pan with 1 teaspoon of oil or use a non stick frying pan. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and fry until cooked through and to your liking, approximately 4 - 5 minutes per side.
Ramen Broth
- Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil in a non stick saucepan or cast iron pan. Add the ginger, garlic and chilli. Sauté for 2 minutes to soften. Add the stock, mushrooms, coconut aminos and toasted sesame oil. Simmer for about 3 mins on medium to low heat to let the flavours blend.
Add-Ins
- Simmer the eggs in lots of water for 6.5 mins or to your liking. 6.5 mins from boiling gives a firm white and soft yolk. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon, rinse under cold water to cool for 30 seconds and peel.
- When almost ready to serve, add the julienne zucchini, bok choy and noodles to the soup and simmer for a minute or two to warm through or until the bok choy is al dente.
- Cut the egg in half and season with salt and pepper to taste. Option to season the ramen stock too.
- Serve the ramen in bowls and top with sliced crispy chicken thighs, egg, spring onion and sesame seeds.
