Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 2 tablespoons butter (divided)
- 8 oz. mushrooms (sliced baby bella)
- 1 large boneless/skinless chicken breast (about ¾ lb.)
- Salt/Pepper
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s hot sauce)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- ¾ teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil
- 2 (3 oz.) packets instant ramen noodles (without flavor packet)
- 6 leaves bok choy (roughly chopped)
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon mustard powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- Green onions (roughly chopped)
- Honey roasted peanuts (for garnish)
- Soft boiled eggs (see notes)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and set aside.
- Slice the chicken in half lengthwise, cover with wrap, pound to ½ inch thick, and season with salt and pepper.
- In the same pot, heat remaining olive oil and butter. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Add wine to the pot and scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom. Let bubble and reduce for 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in remaining butter and garlic, cooking for 2 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, hot sauce, honey, sesame oil, and seasonings. Let come to a gentle boil and reduce for about 10 minutes.
- Bring soup to a boil, add ramen noodles, and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat, then add bok choy, mushrooms, and chicken. Cook until noodles are tender, about 3 minutes.
- Serve in bowls and top with green onions, chopped peanuts, and a soft-boiled egg.
Notes
For a richer broth, simmer longer. Experiment with different proteins or toppings to customize your ramen.
