Ingredients
Scale
Ramen Base
- 1 pack instant ramen noodles (flavour sachet discarded)
- 600ml chicken stock
Protein
- ½ cooked chicken breast, sliced
- 1 egg
Vegetables
- 4 tbsp sweetcorn (or peas or chopped beans)
Finishing
- Sesame oil, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Place the instant ramen noodles into a pan without adding the flavour sachet. Pour over 600ml of chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook according to the package instructions until the noodles are tender.
- Transfer Noodles: Use a slotted spoon or tongs to lift the noodles out of the broth and divide them evenly between two serving bowls.
- Heat Chicken and Veggies: Return the broth to a gentle simmer. Add the sliced cooked chicken breast and cook until heated through. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and place on top of the noodles in each bowl. Add the sweetcorn (or peas or chopped beans) to the broth, bring back to the boil if needed to cook the vegetables, then transfer them to the bowls.
- Cook Egg: While the noodles and chicken are heating, place the egg in a separate pan of boiling water and cook for 6 minutes to achieve a soft-boiled consistency. Carefully remove the egg and cool it under cold running water, peel, and then halve.
- Assemble and Serve: Place half an egg on top of each bowl. Bring the broth back to a simmer and pour the hot broth over the noodles, chicken, and vegetables. Optionally, drizzle a few drops of sesame oil over each bowl for added flavor before serving.
Notes
- Omit the flavour sachet from the instant noodles to control saltiness and enhance broth flavor.
- For extra heat, add fresh chilli slices or a few drops of chilli oil when serving.
- Vegetables can be substituted with peas or chopped beans as preferred.
- Cook the egg precisely for 6 minutes for a perfect soft-boiled yolk.
