Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 4 boneless chicken thighs (370g / 13 oz)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (grated (6g))
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 medium red chilli (diced (14g))
  • 1 3/4 cup / 400 ml chicken broth
  • 80 g /2.8 oz mushrooms (I used shiitake)
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3.5 oz / 100 g konjac noodles (or kelp noodles)
  • 1 small bok choy (halved (100g / 3.5 oz))
  • 1 zucchini (julienne (150g))
  • 2 tbsp scallions (green part, sliced fine (10g))
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (option to toast)

Instruction

  • Grease a griddle pan with 1 tsp of oil or use a non stick frying pan. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and fry until cooked through and to your liking, approximately 4 - 5 minutes per side.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tsp oil in a non stick sauce pan or cast iron pan. Add the ginger, garlic and chilli. Sauté for 2 minutes to soften. Add the stock, mushrooms, coconut aminos and toasted sesame oil. Simmer for about 3 mins on med/ low heat to let the flavours blend.
  • Simmer the eggs in lots of water for 6.5 mins or to your liking. 6.5 mins from boiling gives a firm white and soft yolk. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon, rinse under cold water to cool for 30 seconds and peel.
  • When almost ready to serve, add the julienne zucchini, bok choy and noodles to the soup and simmer for a minute or two to warm through or until the bok choy is al dente.
  • Cut the egg in half and season with salt and pepper to taste. Option to season the ramen stock too.
  • Serve the ramen in bowls and top with sliced crispy chicken thighs, egg, spring onion, sesame and an optional squeeze of lime, nori sprinkles and extra fresh chilli or chilli flakes
