Simple Homemade Chicken Ramen

Simple Homemade Chicken Ramen

Easy homemade chicken ramen, with a flavorful broth, roasted chicken, fresh veggies, lots of noodles, and a soft cooked egg. Inspired by traditional Japanese ramen, but on the table in under an hour.

The Honey’s parents are American ex-pats living abroad in Tokyo, Japan, and while visiting them over the last seven or eight years, he’s collected dozens of favorite eateries throughout the city.

There’s the best izakaya in Kichijoji, serving up casual Japanese pub food, and countless kiten-zushi restaurants, where my English-speaking Honey can choose small plates of freshly-made sushi from a moving conveyor belt without having to order in Japanese.

Description

Easy homemade chicken ramen, with a flavorful broth, roasted chicken, fresh veggies, lots of noodles, and a soft cooked egg. Inspired by traditional Japanese ramen, but on the table in under an hour.

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skin-on)*

• kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to season

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

• 2 tsp sesame or vegetable oil

• 2 tsp fresh ginger, minced

• 3 tsp fresh garlic, minced

• 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

• 2 tbsp mirin

• 4 cups rich chicken stock

• 1 oz dried shitake mushrooms (or 1/2 cup fresh)

• 1–2 tsp sea salt, to taste

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup scallions, sliced

• 2 (3 oz) packs dried ramen noodles

• optional: fresh jalapeño slices, for serving

Instructions

Cook the chicken*: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and releases easily from the pan, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until golden. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil until ready to serve.
