Enhanced Chicken Ramen

Ingredients

• Ramen noodles (2 servings)
• Chicken breasts (2, boneless and skinless)
• Chicken broth (4 cups)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 inch, grated)
• Carrots (2, thinly sliced)
• Green onions (4, chopped (plus extra for garnish))
• Eggs (2, for soft-boiling)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In the same pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, then add the sliced carrots and chopped green onions. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then carefully add them to the simmering broth. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside to keep warm.
6. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and gently add the eggs. Boil for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Once done, peel and set aside.
7. Divide the cooked ramen noodles between two bowls. Spoon the hot broth with vegetables over the noodles.
8. Top each bowl with the shredded chicken, sliced boiled eggs, and a sprinkle of additional chopped green onions for garnish.
9. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of this comforting dish!
