Steps
Eggs and Chicken
First, cook the eggs: bring water to a boil, carefully place the eggs in, and cook for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Remove, cool in an ice bath, then peel and halve them. Meanwhile, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then pan-fry them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove, let rest, then slice into thin strips.
Prepare Broth
In a large pot, heat a little sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and mirin. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and season with more salt or soy sauce if needed.
Noodles and Veggies
While the broth simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes. Drain them. In the last 2 minutes of the broth simmering, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and fresh spinach to the broth to soften.
Serve
Divide the cooked ramen noodles into two large bowls. Ladle a generous amount of the flavorful broth with mushrooms and spinach over the noodles. Arrange the sliced chicken, halved soft-boiled eggs, and thinly sliced green onions on top. Garnish with nori sheets. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, warm ramen bowl!
Extra Tips
► For the perfect soft-boiled egg, cook eggs for exactly 6-7 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath.
► If you like it spicy, drizzle a little chili oil over your ramen when serving.
► Vary the vegetables as you like; you can add bok choy or bean sprouts too.
