Ingredients
  

2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup water

1 cup bok choy, chopped

1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced

2 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece ginger, grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)

2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and golden brown. Remove from pan and let it rest before slicing.

    Make the Broth: In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for about 10 minutes.

      Noodle Time: While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

        Add Veggies: In the last 5 minutes of simmering your broth, add the bok choy and shiitake mushrooms. Allow them to cook until the bok choy is tender and the mushrooms are soft.

          Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked ramen noodles among serving bowls. Pour a generous amount of broth with vegetables over the noodles. Top with sliced chicken thighs, soft-boiled eggs, chopped green onions, and garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.

            Serve and Enjoy! Drizzle with extra sesame oil if desired and serve hot, allowing everyone to customize their bowls with additional sriracha for a spice boost.
