Homemade Chicken Ramen
Easy
homemade chicken ramen, with a flavorful broth, roasted chicken, fresh veggies,
lots of noodles, and a soft cooked egg. Inspired by traditional Japanese ramen,
but on the table in under an hour.

Honey’s parents are American ex-pats living abroad in Tokyo, Japan, and while
visiting them over the last seven or eight years, he’s collected dozens of
favorite eateries throughout the city.
There’s
the best izakaya in Kichijoji, serving up casual Japanese pub food, and countless
kiten-zushi restaurants, where my English-speaking Honey can choose small
plates of freshly-made sushi from a moving conveyor belt without having to
order in Japanese.

Ingredients
•
2
chicken breasts (boneless, skin-on)*
•
kosher
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to season
•
1
tbsp unsalted butter
•
2
tsp sesame or vegetable oil
•
2
tsp fresh ginger, minced
•
3
tsp fresh garlic, minced
•
3
tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
•
2
tbsp mirin
•
4
cups rich chicken stock
•
1
oz dried shitake mushrooms (or 1/2 cup fresh)
•
1–2
tsp sea salt, to taste
•
2
large eggs
•
1/2
cup scallions, sliced

Instructions
Cook
the chicken*: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken generously
with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium
heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown
and releases easily from the pan, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken over and
cook for another 4-5 minutes, until golden. Transfer the skillet to the oven
and roast for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from
the oven, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil until ready to
serve.
