Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 packs of ramen noodles
- 1 cup bok choy, chopped
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables: slice green onions, julienne the carrot, and chop bok choy into bite-sized pieces.
- Pour chicken broth into a medium-sized pot and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Add soy sauce and sesame oil to the broth, stirring to combine and create a flavorful base.
- Add julienned carrots to the broth and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften slightly.
- Gently add ramen noodles to the pot, breaking them apart if they are in a block. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until noodles are almost tender.
- Stir in chopped bok choy and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the greens are wilted but still bright and crisp.
- Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove the pot from heat and carefully divide the soup between two serving bowls.
- Garnish with sliced green onions on top and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- For the most authentic flavor, use high-quality chicken broth or consider making your own from scratch.
- Don't overcook the vegetables - they should remain crisp and retain their vibrant colors.
- If you want extra protein, consider adding shredded chicken or soft-boiled eggs.
- Use fresh green onions for garnish to add a bright, sharp flavor and beautiful color.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and add tofu.
- Keep your noodles slightly al dente to prevent them from becoming mushy when served.
- Adjust the soy sauce and sesame oil to your taste preferences - these are key to creating depth of flavor.
