Ingredients:

For the Ginger Glazed Chicken:
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger (grated)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
For the Ramen:
  • 2 packs of ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
The Vegetables and Garnish:
  • 1 cup carrots (julienned or thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup bok choy (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup green onions (sliced thin)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Preparation:

Step1: Prepare the Chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step2: Make the Ginger Glaze
  1. In the same skillet, combine soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes.
Step3: Coat the Chicken
  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  2. Toss the chicken in the ginger glaze until well coated. Allow the chicken to absorb the flavors for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step4: Cook the Ramen
  1. Bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil in a medium-sized pot.
  2. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes).
  3. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil to enhance the flavor.
Step5: Prepare the Vegetables
  1. While the ramen cooks, steam or sauté the carrots, bok choy, and mushrooms until tender.
  2. Set the vegetables aside for assembling the dish.
Step6: Assemble the Ramen Bowl
  1. Divide the cooked ramen noodles into serving bowls.
  2. Pour the hot broth over the noodles.
  3. Top each bowl with the glazed chicken, steamed vegetables, and green onions.
  4. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro, if desired.
