Ingredients

  • 2 skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (for broth)
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (for broth)
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, divided
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
  • 2 boiled eggs
  • 1 cup bok choy, boiled until tender
  • 2 scallions, sliced (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, brown sugar, 1 tbsp garlic, and ginger. Add chicken breasts and coat well.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and marinade; cook for 10 minutes, flipping once, until fully cooked. Remove and slice thinly.

  4. In a separate pot, combine chicken broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 tbsp mirin. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Add ramen noodles to broth and cook until tender, then remove from heat.
  6. In each serving bowl, add 1 egg yolk, 1 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1 tsp garlic. Stir to combine.
  7. Slowly ladle in hot broth while stirring to create a creamy base. Add noodles and more broth to fill the bowl.
  8. Top with sliced chicken, bok choy, scallions, and halved boiled eggs. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut version.
  • Adjust spice by adding chili oil or red pepper flakes.
  • Add mushrooms, corn, or bean sprouts for more texture.
  • Prepare the mayo-egg base fresh when serving for the best texture.
