Ingredients

For the Broth:

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups chicken stock (or broth of choice)
• 4 cups water
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 5-6 leaves baby bok choy, chopped or left whole
• 4 packs of ramen noodles (throw out those seasoning packets!)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:

• 1 pound grilled chicken, sliced
• 2 soft boiled eggs, halved
• 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
• Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

1. Add the sesame oil into a large pot and heat over medium heat. Add in the garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

2. Add in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes or until softened.

3. Pour in the chicken stock, water, and soy sauce.

4. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes.

5. Add the bok choy and simmer for an additional 2 minutes to soften the leaves.

6. Remove the pot from the heat. Place the ramen noodles in the hot pot of broth. Allow the noodles to sit for ONLY a couple of minutes until they loosen and soften up. The noodles will soften quickly, so this should be done right before serving.

7. Divide the ramen, veggies, and broth evenly into bowls.

8. Top the ramen with sliced grilled chicken and soft boiled eggs. Garnish with toppings of choice and enjoy!
