Ingredients for Chicken Ramen Bowl

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons mirin
• 1 teaspoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (optional)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• 4 ounces ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 4 baby bok choy, halved
• 4 large eggs
• 2 scallions, sliced, for garnish
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
• Lime wedges, for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Soft-boil the eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently add eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, peel, and set aside.
2. Sauté aromatics: In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds more.
3. Build the broth: Pour in rice vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, fish sauce, and Sriracha. Stir to combine, then add chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add greens and chicken: Gently stir in bok choy and shredded chicken. Simmer until bok choy is tender, about 2 minutes.
5. Cook noodles: Drop ramen noodles into the simmering broth. Cook for 3–4 minutes until al dente.
6. Assemble bowls: Divide noodles and broth among four bowls. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and nestle on top. Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

• Prep broth in advance: Store chilled broth up to 3 days.
• Shred chicken ahead: Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
• Reheat properly: Warm broth on the stove before adding fresh noodles.

FAQ about Your Ramen Bowl

Can I use pork or tofu instead of chicken?

Absolutely! Swap chicken for sliced pork belly, beef, or firm tofu for a vegetarian twist.

How do I achieve a perfect jammy egg?

Stick to exactly 7 minutes of simmering and shock the eggs in ice water to stop cooking. This ensures a creamy yolk every time.
