Easy Homemade Ramen
Description
Easy Homemade Ramen begins by sautéing garlic and ginger in sesame oil for fragrance, then cooking sliced mushrooms until softened. Adding chicken stock, water, and soy sauce forms the flavorful broth, which is simmered to develop taste. Baby bok choy is added near the end to soften slightly while retaining texture. Ramen noodles are softened by placing them in the hot broth just before serving, preventing overcooking and mushiness. The soup is divided into bowls and topped with grilled chicken slices, halved soft boiled eggs, green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. This creates a well-rounded bowl with components of umami, protein, vegetables, and fresh garnishes.
