Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Heat oil in a pot and cook the chicken until golden and the thickest pieces reach 165°F.

Step 4: Cook the Noodles

Add ramen noodles and cook until tender.

Step 5: Add Greens

Stir in spinach or bok choy until just wilted.

Step 6: Serve

Divide into bowls and top with boiled eggs, green onions, sesame seeds, and chili flakes.

How to Store Leftovers

Refrigerate the broth, chicken, noodles, eggs, and fresh toppings promptly in separate covered containers at 40°F (4°C) or below, and use within 3 days. Keeping the noodles out of the broth prevents them from swelling and turning soft.

How to Reheat

Bring the broth to a gentle simmer, add the chicken until hot, and warm the noodles only briefly. Add the egg, green onions, sesame seeds, and chili flakes after the bowl is assembled.

What to Serve With It

• Soft-boiled eggs
• Steamed greens
• Green onions

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Boiling delicate toppings in the broth.
