Simple Homemade Chicken Ramen

Description

Easy homemade chicken ramen, with a flavorful broth, roasted chicken, fresh veggies, lots of noodles, and a soft cooked egg. Inspired by traditional Japanese ramen, but on the table in under an hour.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skin-on)*
• kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to season
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tsp sesame or vegetable oil
• 2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
• 3 tsp fresh garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp mirin
• 4 cups rich chicken stock
• 1 oz dried shitake mushrooms (or 1/2 cup fresh)
• 1–2 tsp sea salt, to taste
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup scallions, sliced
• 2 (3 oz) packs dried ramen noodles
• optional: fresh jalapeño slices, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook the chicken*: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and releases easily from the pan, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until golden. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil until ready to serve.
2. Make the ramen broth: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, until shimmering. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for a few minutes until softened. Add the soy sauce and mirin, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute. Add the stock, cover, and bring to boil. Remove the lid, and let simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, then add the dried mushrooms. Simmer gently for another 10 minutes, and season with salt, to taste.
