The Honey’s parents are American ex-pats living abroad in Tokyo, Japan, and while visiting them over the last seven or eight years, he’s collected dozens of favorite eateries throughout the city.

There’s the best izakaya in Kichijoji, serving up casual Japanese pub food, and countless kiten-zushi restaurants, where my English-speaking Honey can choose small plates of freshly-made sushi from a moving conveyor belt without having to order in Japanese.

He always makes sure to buy at least one Pocari Sweat from a vending machine (think Japanese gatorade), and of course, there’s his favorite ramen shop in Shinjuku, a tiny, crowded restaurant with a line out the door. Paintings of pigs adorn the walls, and big, steaming bowls of pork ramen are served to hungry patrons at a single bar counter.

what you’ll love about this easy chicken ramen

Real Japanese ramen, the kind that my Honey tells stories about, takes years and great skill to perfect. I wanted to create a simple ramen noodle soup that reminded him of Japan, but could be made quickly, with ingredients on hand.

I opted for chicken instead of pork, but kept the rest of the ramen vibe somewhat traditional: a killer chicken soup base with garlic, ginger, shitake mushrooms and soy sauce, filled with squiggly ramen noodles and slices of succulent chicken, and topped with fresh spring onions and a soft-boiled egg.

My version is on the table in less than an hour – and half that if you opt for store-bought chicken – and while it might not be completely authentic, it’s a flavorful, comforting soup just in time for the unmistakably crisp, chilly autumn weather that these first days of October have ushered in.

Description

Easy homemade chicken ramen, with a flavorful broth, roasted chicken, fresh veggies, lots of noodles, and a soft cooked egg. Inspired by traditional Japanese ramen, but on the table in under an hour.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skin-on)*
  • kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to season
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp sesame or vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tsp fresh garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 4 cups rich chicken stock
  • 1 oz dried shitake mushrooms (or 1/2 cup fresh)
  • 1–2 tsp sea salt, to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup scallions, sliced
  • 2 (3 oz) packs dried ramen noodles
  • optional: fresh jalapeño slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken*: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and releases easily from the pan, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until golden. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil until ready to serve.
  2. Make the ramen broth: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, until shimmering. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for a few minutes until softened. Add the soy sauce and mirin, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute. Add the stock, cover, and bring to boil. Remove the lid, and let simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, then add the dried mushrooms. Simmer gently for another 10 minutes, and season with salt, to taste.
  3. Make the soft-boiled eggs: Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs, and bring to a boil. Gently lower the eggs (still cold from the fridge) into the boiling water, and let simmer for 7 minutes (for a slightly-runny yoke) or 8 minutes (for a soft, but set-up yoke).
  4. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water. When the timer finishes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Wait at least 5 minutes, or until cool enough to handle, then carefully peel away the shell and slice in half, lengthwise. Set aside until ready to serve.
  5. Assemble the ramen bowls: Meanwhile, chop the scallions and jalapeño (if using). Slice the chicken into thin pieces. Set aside. When the eggs finish cooking, add the ramen noodles to the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until soft, then divide the noodles into two large bowls. Add the sliced chicken and the ramen broth. Top with the fresh scallions, jalapeño and the soft boiled egg. Serve immediately.

Equipment

Notes

Ask your butcher to remove the rib bone from the chicken breasts (leaving the skin on), or use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts and increase the oven roasting time 5-10 minutes, as needed. You can also cut your ramen prep time in half by using a store-bought whole rotisserie chicken, simply slice off as much as you wish, and add to the ramen.

    This was my first time making homemade Ramen. The flavors were delicious and new to my kitchen as I have only had ramen out. I used Ocean’s Halo Ramen noodles. I think I should have used a thicker noodle and let it sit in the sauce to pick up more of the flavor, but the family loved it and I will definitely make it again. Thank you!

    I’ve actually never had real ramen before (only the instant kind), so making this was my first time trying it and I feel like I’ve missed out for my whole life! I made it for my family (glad I doubled the recipe so that we would have leftovers) and they loved it too. I was nervous about the chicken not being flavored, so I did a quick rub with five spice (in addition to the salt and pepper) and a dash of Shaoxing cooking wine right before popping them into the pan and it led to a nice crust on the chicken breasts. I also doubled the amount of mushrooms and used fresh, and threw them in a pan with some oil at medium high heat for a few minutes to brown them before putting them into the broth and it turned out to be a hit. Love how versatile this broth is; I put some carrots in it because it’s what we had around, but next time I might throw in some other veggies. The soft-boiled egg part was perfect as well, this is me discovering that I actually love soft boiled eggs and that they’re super simple to make! Overall a recipe I’ll definitely be making again.

I added sesame seeds, dried nori, button mushrooms (in with the shitaki), and omitted the green onion because I forgot to thaw it. This is seriously some of the best food on earth!!!

    Delicious in it’s base form. I suggest adding daikon radish, naruto, sesame seed, and dried seaweed. Also, this recipe reheats quite well- the broth, at least. I generally use quadruple all the broth ingredients and make about a gallon in total. Rather than adding the mushrooms to the broth, I boil my ramen noodles in a separate pot, and the mushrooms along with them. This allows me to save the broth with no mushrooms in it, which in turn avoids the problem of mushy mushrooms when it’s time to reheat.

      Wow. Then go make chicken noodle soup. That’s like saying apple pie is the same as an apple dumpling. I think the word you’re looking for is “similar”, not “equivalent”. This is a great simple version of home cooked Ramen. Add thin slices of brisket or pork with a pork/beef broth base and hoisen sauce if you want a more savory simple stock, or take 4 hours to make Ramen from a recipe that doesn’t say “simple”. Read the ingredient list, and read the comments before cooking. You get good hints from others that may want a fuller taste. This isn’t just egg noodles, this is Ramen.

    I had to twist the recipe since here in Italy, the place i live doesn’t have mirin, sake and the shitake mushrooms. I used to white white+sugar to substitute mirin and sautéed fresh sliced champignons with the ginger and garlic and followed the recipe! Oh and i used pork belly and used a few chilli flakes on top..
    Loved every bite/spoon of it!!!
    PS: made the noodles at home with bread flour, baked baking soda and water!

    I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this recipe over the last couple years. It’s so simple and so delicious. For ease, we typically buy a Costco rotisserie chicken which works wonderfully. I do agree that there is not a ton of broth, which we love, so I usually increase that portion of the recipe by half. However I think I will try cooking the noodles separately as another person suggested. Sriracha on top takes it out of this world.

    I was a little skeptical at first and assumed it would be another lackluster but edible bowl of ramen, but I was pleasantly surprised. I used a rotisserie chicken and added bok choy but followed the recipe as stated. It was very satisfying. I may reduce the ginger and add a bit of sesame oil next time, but I’m glad for a super easy weeknight recipe that everyone can customize to their liking.

    My granddaughter made this for us this summer during her visit. My husband is not an adventurous eater at all and he absolutely loved it.
    Hope Henry is doing well. She was an “allergic kid,” not being able to have dairy at all, soy , beef and pork. She outgrew it now at 14. Only a bit cautious with lots of dairy. In preschool her mom put a sign on her at first that said, “Do Not Feed Me, I am allergic.” All those kiddies wanted to share their “goldfish” and soy bean oil is everywhere.

    Loved this recipe, tried it last night I didn’t add butter and I used skinless chicken breast instead (weight watchers) I also doubled the amount of chicken and eggs to make 4 servings verses 2, so came out to around 6 points total which is not bad for a dinner or lunch recipe. But it was fantastic, fresh and even better leftover! Everything had a chance to marinate and combine the next day and it was a wonderfully flavorful hot soup for a cold, snowy Pennsylvania day! Thanks so much for sharing!

    Here are the modifications I have used to improve on an already great recipe :
    -add ghee or butter, bacon, a scoop of tahini, and a splash of soy milk or dairy milk to the broth to give it a fattier, richer base
    -add miso (or instant miso soup base if you are like me and can’t find miso paste in your neighborhood grocery)

    I could eat this three nights a week ,😁

        Nicklaus, sorry I’m just seeing your question. Since I use instant miso I use enough for one serving and that seems to do it. So if you’re using paste I think use enough for one serving as well which may be like a tablespoon. Tweak to your liking!

    This was so easy to make but still was still fun and enjoyable to prepare. I am a novice cook but followed the instructions and it came out great! Added an onion with the mushrooms and added a little spice to it! Also added bok choy and spinach on top of noodles, softened up when broth was added.

    Perfect recipe, thanks so much!

    Great simple recipe – I use it all the time with variations e.g. adding 1 heaped tsp miso to the broth, topping with pork belly (cooked on low in a slow cooker for 8 hours with ginger, garlic, 5 spice, honey & soy), adding other toppings: thin sliced carrot & cabbage, beansprouts, nori, spinach, garlic oil. Would always recommend homemade stock or good quality shop bought – you do taste the difference!

    Looks like a good recipe, do intend on trying!
    Question for you though – do you drain the noodles after cooking them in the water that was used to boiling the eggs, or do you add that water to the broth, as extra?

    Wouldn’t it just be a better idea to cook the noodles as specified on the package of whatever you’re using, then just add them to the broth after draining them?

      You could absolutely cook the noodles separately according to their pacakge directions. I ususally don’t want wait/use an extra pot, so I often just cook them in the water I used for the eggs. You’ll drain them once they’re cooked though, don’t add the cooking water to the ramen broth. Either way, hope you enjoy the ramen! 🙂

    I mean, this is okay as a start, but it is still just chicken noodle soup.
    What makes it actual ramen is using a dashi stock (simple preparation of kombu & bonito flakes that only takes 10 min the prepare), a teaspoon or so of topping oil (like sesame at the least) and a “tare” (which can just be sea salt with mirin, sake, etc). Just adding these steps in may add an extra 30 mintutes time but otherwise it is not real ramen and I just get tired of ramen being cheapened with shortcuts.

      Hi Yusuke, thanks for taking the time to comment, though I’m sorry to hear you weren’t inspired by my recipe. As I mention in the blog post, this is absolutely not an authentic ramen, and I don’t claim that it is. Instead, it’s a simple weeknight version inspired by the ramen that my husband had many times while visiting his parents in Tokyo. I’d like to think that if you try the recipe, you’ll find it’s pretty great, especially for being ready in as little as half an hour, and using more easily accessible ingredients than “true” ramen requires.

    My husband and I made this last night for our family – delicious! Kids LOVED it too (ages 4 and almost 7). We doubled the broth and subbed Udon for ramen noodles. Then had a bunch of “toppings” (from the recipe + more) for the kids to choose and build their own soup (after we had poured the broth over their noodles and chicken). Toppings: chopped scallions, shaved carrot, sautéed sweet potato, chopped yellow pepper, sautéed kale, soft boiled eggs, and sliced jalapeño (for grownups). Total hit. Will definitely make this again, and likely with even more broth so we can have it on hand for a couple dinners during the week and switch up the proteins and toppings.

    We made this and it turned out great! Except the noodles absorbed almost all the broth, leaving a thick, very salty sauce. I’d recommend cooking the noodles separately, or doubling the amount of chicken broth. We may even try adding some water to the soup base to help prevent this.

    Otherwise awesome recipe!

    Really good ramen recipe, would just recommend using no sodium chicken stock and low sodium soy sauce. Using full salt versions are waaaay too salty. Also, I’d recommend using 1/2 the ginger , a bit extra garlic, and you can sub rice wine vinegar for the mirin. Also, add boc choy and bean sprouts for a more traditional vegetable component. Also, you can add about a cup of hot water if you need more broth and/or if it’s too salty. For those that like it spicy, add red pepper flakes to the oil, garlic, ginger mix as it’s simmering. Top notch!

      Bob, this is essentially shoyu ramen, in other words soy sauce ramen. Soy sauce is naturally salty. If the mirin is too much for you and you chose to add rice wine vinegar maybe you should try Campbells Chicken Noodle.

    I had put a leftover rotisserie chicken in the pressure cooker to make some rich broth and then looked online for something delicious to make with the chicken in the broth and found this recipe. I have made some very complicated Ramen recipes before and this one was very easy. It also ended up being one of the most delicious ones I’ve ever made. I made a very few substitutions: I use the rotisserie chicken leftovers, I didn’t have mirin so I substituted rice wine vinegar with a touch of sugar, and I use ground ginger instead of fresh. This soup was rich, full tasting, and absolutely fantastic. I plan to make this again and again. Thanks so much for this recipe

          Hi Kay, I’m not able to give an exact amount because it’s going to depend on a number of factors: the sodium content of the stock you use, the soy sauce, the ramen noodles, and how you season the chicken and soup base, to taste. If you’re concerned about sodium, I would just make sure all of those elements are low-sodium. Hope that helps! Enjoy!

    I’ve made this twice now and I can’t wait to make it again! The first time, I used normal chicken broth instead of rich stock and while it was still tasty, my broth was a little thinner than I would have liked. This time, I made sure to get thicker stock and it was so worth it!

    I now have a go-to winter meal for then the chilly months hit. 5 stars for sure, even though I wasn’t able to rate it. Thanks for sharing!

    The serving size, I felt, was off. Even splitting the amount of noodles and broth in half was too much for one person; it could have been for 3-4 people at the most. Also, the amount of ginger was way too much, so much so that it was overpowering and made me sick. The ginger could have been a little less or none at all. I cut out the shiitake mushrooms with skin-off chicken breasts, so other than some minor problems with the recipe, everything else was perfect.

    This was absolutely delicious! My fiance and I were in the mood for a low-key evening at home and, as it turns out, homemade ramen & dessert with prosecco at home was the perfect evening to end a very long week. The recipe was easy to follow and was quick to make without buying a lot of ingredients (we already had a fairly well-stocked pantry). We did substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce without any discernible change in flavor from other ramen recipes we have tried in the past. Also, instead of using skin-on chicken (first started in a skillet and finished in the oven), we chose to use boneless, skinless chicken cooked entirely in the oven (375 degrees F for about 35 to 40 minutes). The only thing I might add next time would be wasabi sprouts (not spicy) or clover sprouts. This is more for personal preference as I can’t say anything was lacking in the depth and complexity of the flavors in this recipe. Overall we were very happy with the way this recipe turned out and we will definitely be making it again!

I used chicken from a Rotisserie chicken that I bought earlier and I made the broth from the bones…That may have helped the “salty” factor that others have commented on. Also added some finely chopped spinach so that I felt I was getting some veg! That broth was divine!

        Hi, Jennah! The chicken will still be in the oven for about 20 minutes, but you’ll probably need to work in batches to brown it first in the skillet. So I would brown it in 2-3 batches in a large skillet, then transfer all the browned chicken (along with the pan juices) to a larger baking dish or sheet pan to finish cooking all the way through. Hope that helps, enjoy!!

You can also find organic ramen noodles (I get them at Whole Foods and other well-stocked grocery stores). They might not be squiggly like the instant packets, but they’re probably healthier 🙂 Hope you enjoy the recipe!!

    P.S. Einstein considered his second greatest invention was adding an egg to soup so that it would produce a soft-boiled egg with no extra dishes to wash. I’d recommend anyone to try the same. 🍜 Eggs in the US come pre-washed, so no worries about chicken butt bacteria there.

        You’re welcome! Bison heart is technically a muscle, so it tastes like a lean roast. It could easily pass for one, and costs much less. 😋 It’s much easier to find chicken, lamb, or beef heart, but I used bison because I’m allergic to beef. It’s amazing when grilled. Trust me- It’s nothing like liver!

    This sounds amazing, and I’m adding the ingredients to my shopping trip [tomorrow!]. I have a question, though: What is “rich” chicken broth? I’m something of a novice in the kitchen, and still buy most of my ingredients instead of making them [time, space, and lazy issues]. I’m going to look for something like this at the grocery store tomorrow, but I’d love to understand a bit more here!
    Thanks!

        Thank you! Would you recommend sesame oil for the step below?
        “Make the ramen broth: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, until shimmering. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for a few minutes until softened.”

        Also, just followed your beautifully precise instructions for soft-boiled eggs, and the came out marvelous!!

          You can use sesame oil or vegetable oil (I’ve used olive oil too) or a combination. I find sesame oil can be pretty strong, flavorful wise, so if you’re a fan of it, that’s great, whereas veggie oil is very neutral. It can be much more expensive too, so I would skip it if it’s not an ingredient you regularly cook with. So glad your eggs came out perfect! Love those soft-boiled eggs on top 🙂

    This was stellar I did not have the mushrooms, but made it anyways. I used my own chicken stock and some chicken thighs that I had previously grilled and froze (time saving tip) I also added some partially cooked pot stickers to the final product. (Trader Joe’s Seafood Sriracha Potstickers with Shrimp and Crab) This recipe was fabulous. going to make it again this week and see what else I can come up with. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in putting this together.

      You can definitely freeze the broth, but I’m not sure how well the ramen noodles would do with freezing/defrosting (haven’t tried it). It might be better to add those in right before serving. Hope you enjoy!

    I’m a novice at this sort of thing – I’m a baker at heart, and a bad one all the same! But I’m going to be brave and try this recipe.
    My only question is about the chicken stock. It says 4 cups – I presume that that is already mixed up, but about how much dry stock would I need for 4 cups?

    • Reply
      Laura
      September 8, 2015 at 8:59 am

      Yes, the 4 cups is either homemade or packaged liquid stock, if you used some kind of bouillon/powder, you’d need to look on the package to see how much was needed for 4 cups of water. I’m sorry I don’t have a better estimate, but it’s not a product I often use… Hope you enjoy the recipe!!

I do admit that I take the cop out and get the store bought hot rotisserie chicken instead of cooking it myself. Thanks for the recipe Laura. Our family is indebted to you!

My husband and I prefer a lot of spice so we did the jalapeño and sriracha paste that someone else suggested and that gave it the kick we needed 🙂 I loved how visually appetizing this turns out with the garnishes and all.

I must admit, since ramen is such an art form, my expectations weren’t super high… but you nailed it!! Of course, since it isn’t full of bones and didn’t take a million years to make, it isn’t exactly like the real stuff, but the flavors are there, and it is the perfect quick and easy version!! I’ve made it twice already and am making a third batch this weekend to eat for lunches all week. Your egg recipe is perfection too. I’m addicted. Thank you SO much!!

    I just made this and it was a hit! The broth was delicious. I baked skinless chicken breasts because that’s all I had so I didn’t get that golden brown skin. My only issue was that the eggs didn’t set. I followed all the instructions and, when I cracked them open, the whites were still mostly liquid. I would make it again and just simmer the eggs a little longer and use 1/2 the amount of ramen noodles (I prefer the broth over the ramen). As a lover of soft boiled eggs, I know how difficult it is to get them just right!

After 7 minutes, the yolk might still be soft/runny, but I’ve never had an issue with the whites not setting. I’d love to hear how the second time around goes!
