Instructions

- Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, ensuring they are not overcooked.
- Divide the cooked noodles evenly between two bowls.
- Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, filling the bowls generously.
- Top each bowl with sliced chicken breast, halved soft-boiled eggs, chopped green onions, shredded nori sheets, a drizzle of sesame oil, and a splash of chili oil for that extra kick.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired, and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors.
Tips
- For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a dash of miso paste to the broth.
- Feel free to customize your toppings; mushrooms, corn, and bok choy are great additions!
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the chicken.
