Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium is fine)
  • 1 tbsp chili-garlic sauce (Sambal Oelek or Sriracha)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp miso paste (white or red, optional)
  • 2 tbsp chili-garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 1 large carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or baby spinach
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (about 6 oz total, discard seasoning packet if using instant)
  • Soft-boiled eggs (optional, for topping)
  • Thinly sliced green onions (for topping)
  • Sesame seeds (for topping)
  • Fresh cilantro or Thai basil (for topping)
  • Chili oil or extra chili-garlic sauce (for topping)
  • Nori (seaweed sheets), cut into strips (for topping)
  • Shredded carrots or radish (for topping)
  • Lime wedges (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp chili-garlic sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tsp grated ginger. Add sliced chicken and toss well. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
  2. Heat a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil. Arrange marinated chicken in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  3. In a large soup pot, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil over medium heat. Sauté white parts of green onions, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tsp grated ginger for 2-3 minutes. Add 2 tbsp chili-garlic sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp miso paste (if using), stirring until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 4 cups chicken broth and 2 cups water. Add 1 tbsp rice vinegar, carrots, and cabbage or spinach. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Cook ramen noodles in the simmering broth or separately according to package instructions (about 3-4 minutes). If using rice noodles, check for doneness sooner.
  6. Divide noodles among bowls. Pour spicy broth and veggies over the top. Arrange sliced chicken on each bowl. Top with soft-boiled eggs, green onions, sesame seeds, fresh herbs, and chili oil as desired.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing. Adjust spice and salt to taste.

Notes

Adjust chili-garlic sauce to your spice preference. For gluten-free, use rice noodles and tamari. Prep toppings while chicken marinates to save time. Store noodles and broth separately for leftovers. For vegetarian, swap chicken for tofu and use veggie broth.
