Ingredients

Scale

Ramen Broth:

  • 8 cups chicken broth (reduced sodium)
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3–5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 4 green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces (optional)
  • 1/2 – 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Glazed Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp minced garlic

Additional Ingredients:

  • 8 oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, halved or sliced
  • 5 oz baby spinach
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 12 oz ramen noodles
  • 3 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Ramen Broth: Add all ramen broth ingredients to a large dutch oven or stockpot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to MED/MED-LOW and simmer 15-20 minutes.
  2. Glazed Chicken: Season chicken thighs with black pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over MED-HIGH heat, and cook chicken thighs, 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Whisk together remaining glazed chicken ingredients (light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic), then pour over chicken thighs in skillet. Cook mixture down until syrupy and thick, turning chicken occasionally to glaze on both sides. This usually takes about 5 minutes, but will depend on your stove. Remove chicken thighs to a cutting board to rest a few minutes, then slice thinly.
  3. Assembly: Once ramen broth is done simmering, strain the solids and return the broth to the pot. Add mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes over MED heat. Add spinach and sesame oil and cook another 3 minutes. Boil ramen noodles 1 minute less than package directions, drain, and divide among 4 bowls. Top with hot broth, mushrooms, spinach, sliced chicken, green onions, and any desired toppings. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the toppings with additional vegetables or garnishes.
  • Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the red pepper flakes.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute tofu for the chicken.
