Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

4 cups chicken broth

2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust to taste)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, grated

2 green onions, chopped

1 cup baby spinach

1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or button)

2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: In a medium pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden-brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside to rest.

Prepare the Broth: In the same pot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the chili paste according to your heat preference.

Add Vegetables: Once the broth is simmering, add the sliced mushrooms and spinach. Let them cook for about 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and mushrooms are tender.

Cook the Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the pot and cook them in the broth according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes).

Shred the Chicken: While the noodles cook, shred the rested chicken thighs using two forks.

Assemble the Ramen: Once the noodles are done, remove the pot from heat. Divide the noodles and vegetables among bowls, ladle the spicy broth over the top, and add the shredded chicken.

Garnish and Serve: Top each bowl with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and a soft-boiled egg if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the fiery warmth of your ramen!
