Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 8 oz fresh shiitake mushrooms
  • 5 oz baby spinach
  • 12 oz ramen noodles
  • 2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3–5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 4 green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces (optional)
  • 1/2 – 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. In a large dutch oven, combine chicken broth, light soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onions, lemongrass (if using), and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Season chicken thighs with black pepper and heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Whisk together light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in a bowl. Pour over the chicken in the skillet and cook until the glaze thickens (about 5 minutes). Slice the chicken after resting.
  4. Strain the broth into a large bowl to remove solids, returning it to low heat.
  5. Add shiitake mushrooms to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring in spinach and sesame oil until wilted.
  6. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions minus one minute; drain and divide among serving bowls.
  7. Ladle hot broth over noodles, add glazed chicken slices, and garnish with green onions.
