Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 chicken breast
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 inch fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 pak choi, chopped in half lengthwise
  • 1/4 red onion, finely sliced
  • Fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • Fresh red chillies, finely sliced

Noodles

  • 200g fresh ramen or egg noodles

Broth and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 chicken stock cube (10g)
  • 300ml boiling water
  • 1 lime wedge

Instructions

  1. Cook Chicken: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Place the chicken breast in the pan and fry for 5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Pak Choi: Add minced garlic, ginger, and chopped pak choi to the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for a few minutes until the pak choi is al dente. Add a splash of water to create steam. Once tender, turn off the heat and leave covered.
  3. Prepare Garnishes: While the pak choi cooks, prepare your garnishes by slicing red onion, chopping coriander, and slicing fresh red chillies.
  4. Cook Noodles: Boil fresh ramen or egg noodles according to the package instructions, usually for a couple of minutes. Drain and set aside.
  5. Make Soup Broth: In your ramen serving bowl, combine sriracha, light soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and the chicken stock cube. Mix well.
  6. Add Boiling Water: Boil water in a kettle and pour 300ml of boiling water into the bowl, filling about 1 1/2 inches from the top. Stir to blend all ingredients. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Slice Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken breast into thin strips.
  8. Assemble Ramen: Place the cooked noodles into the broth, then top with sliced chicken and pak choi.
  9. Add Garnishes and Serve: Finish by topping with sliced red onions, chopped coriander, fresh red chillies, and a wedge of lime. Enjoy your flavorful homemade ramen!

Notes

  • Use fresh ramen or egg noodles for the best texture; dried noodles can be used but require longer cooking time.
  • Sriracha adds a spicy kick, adjust the quantity to suit your heat preference.
  • Adding a splash of water while cooking pak choi helps it steam and stay tender-crisp.
  • Sesame oil is optional but adds a lovely nutty aroma to the broth.
  • Garnishes are flexible; try adding spring onions or boiled eggs for extra flavor.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked through thoroughly to avoid any food safety issues.
