Ingredients
  

Soup Base & Protein
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5ml) toasted sesame oil
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp (30g) fresh ginger grated
  • 6 cups (1.4L) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp (5g) kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp (2.5g) black pepper
Noodles & Garnish
  • 2 packages (6 oz / 170g) dried curly ramen noodles flavor packets discarded
  • 0.5 cup (50g) green onions sliced
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) chili oil for drizzling

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch Oven Used for sautéing aromatics and simmering the soup.
  • 1 Medium Saucepan Used to boil the ramen noodles separately.

Method
 

Preparing the Broth
  1. Place your Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and toasted sesame oil. Once shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 60 to 90 seconds until highly fragrant.
  2. Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Submerge the chicken breasts in the liquid, adding the salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Once the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C), transfer it to a cutting board. Shred using two forks, then return the chicken to the simmering broth.
Noodles and Assembly
  1. In a separate saucepan, boil water and cook the curly ramen noodles for 3 minutes until al dente. Drain well.
  2. Divide the cooked ramen noodles evenly among serving bowls. Ladle the hot ginger garlic broth and shredded chicken over the noodles.
  3. Generously garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and a drizzle of chili oil before serving.

Notes

Cook noodles separately to keep the broth clear.
Use freshly grated ginger for the best immune-boosting benefits.
