Recipe Makes (Approximate): 2

Ingredients

  • 2 packages instant ramen (traditional, organic or gluten-free)
  • 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth (vegetable broth)
  • 2 tablespoons mayo
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1½ tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (or sambal olek)
  • 1 chicken breast (grilled or cooked, and chopped)

Toppings (all optional)

  • 2 large soft-boiled eggs (halved)
  • scallions (thinly sliced )
  • black sesame seeds (or shichimi togarashi)
  • ½ nori sheet (thinly sliced)

Instructions

  • Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan.
  • While the broth is warming, whisk together the mayo the crushed garlic, sesame oil and sriracha or sambal in a small bowl.
  • As soon as the broth begins to boil, add the ramen noodles (optionally include the seasoning packet for an extra flavor hit!) Boil the ramen for 2 minutes and then remove from the heat.
  • Ladle about 2 tablespoons of the ramen liquid into the mayo mixture and whisk to combine. Slowly, whisk 2-4 more tablespoons in until you have a thin, fully incorporated liquid. Pour back over the noodles and remaining broth.
  • Divide between two warm bowls before topping with the chicken and optional garnishes.

Recipe Notes

Seasoning packets: You can add some or all of the seasoning packet if you're using instant noodles for extra flavor, but the ramen doesn't need it if you don't want to.
Jammy eggs: Cook large eggs in boiling water for 7 minutes, then transfer them immediately to an ice bath.
Topping ideas: Chili oil, corn, blanched bok choi or baby pak choi, bean sprouts and sautéed Asian mushrooms all work really well.
Make it vegetarian: Use vegetable broth, choose vegetarian-friendly toppings, and if you're planning on adding the seasoning pack to the broth make sure that is vegetarian too.
