Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pack instant ramen noodles
  • 600ml chicken stock
  • ½ cooked chicken breast, sliced
  • 4 tbsp sweetcorn, peas, or chopped beans
  • 1 egg
  • Sesame oil, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Place the instant ramen noodles in a pan without adding the flavor sachet. Pour over the chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer according to the noodle package’s cooking time until the noodles are tender.
  2. Prepare the noodles and chicken: Using a slotted spoon, lift the noodles out of the broth and divide them between two bowls. Return the broth to a simmer, add the sliced cooked chicken breast, and cook until warmed through. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and add it on top of the noodles in the bowls.
  3. Cook the vegetables: Add the sweetcorn, peas, or chopped beans to the simmering broth. Bring it back to a boil if necessary, then transfer the vegetables to the bowls alongside the noodles and chicken.
  4. Soft-boil the egg: While the broth simmers, place the egg in a pan of boiling water and cook for 6 minutes. Remove the egg carefully, cool it under running cold water, peel, and cut in half.
  5. Assemble the ramen bowls: Add one half of the soft-boiled egg to each bowl. Bring the broth back to a simmer and pour it evenly over the noodles, chicken, and vegetables. Optionally, drizzle a few drops of sesame oil over each bowl for added flavor.

Notes

  • You can swap sweetcorn for peas or chopped beans depending on your preference or what you have on hand.
  • For a spicy kick, add fresh chili slices or a few drops of chili oil when serving.
  • Ensure the chicken breast is pre-cooked before adding it to the broth to save time.
  • The egg is soft-boiled for 6 minutes to achieve a slightly runny yolk, but you can adjust the time to your desired doneness.
