Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 packs ramen noodles
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 boiled eggs, halved
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cook the chicken breasts by boiling or grilling until fully cooked. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- In a large pot, pour in the 4 cups of chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the simmering broth. Stir well to combine the flavors. Taste the broth and add salt to your preference.
- While the broth is simmering, prepare the mushrooms. Clean and slice the mushrooms, then add them to the pot. Allow them to cook in the broth for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set aside.
- Once the mushrooms are tender, add the shredded chicken to the broth and let it heat through for about 3-5 minutes.
- Chop the green onions and set them aside for garnish.
- To serve, divide the cooked ramen noodles among four bowls. Ladle the hot shoyu-style broth with chicken and mushrooms over the noodles.
- Top each bowl with halved boiled eggs and a sprinkle of chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy your homemade Chicken Ramen in a Shoyu Style Broth hot and fresh!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can cook and shred the chicken a day in advance. Just store it in the fridge until you're ready to make the ramen.
- Customize Your Broth: Feel free to experiment with the broth! Add a splash of mirin or a dash of sesame oil for extra depth of flavor.
- Perfect Noodles: Be careful not to overcook the ramen noodles. Follow the package instructions closely, and rinse them under cold water after draining to stop the cooking process.
- Garnish for Impact: Don’t skip the green onions and boiled eggs—they add not only flavor but also a beautiful presentation to your dish.
- Add Veggies: For a more nutritious bowl, consider adding other vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or corn to the broth.
- Make It Spicy: If you like a bit of heat, add some chili oil or sliced jalapeños to your bowl before serving.Enjoy your cooking adventure and savor every delicious bite of your homemade Chicken Ramen!
