Print Recipe

A quick and comforting creamy chicken ramen recipe featuring tender chicken thighs, a rich broth, fresh ramen noodles, and perfectly soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk (or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 6 ounces fresh ramen noodles (or dried if fresh unavailable)
  • Large eggs (one per serving)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Thinly sliced green onions for garnish
  • Optional toppings: toasted nori strips, chili flakes, sautéed mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Prepare the soft-boiled eggs: Bring water to a gentle boil in a saucepan. Carefully lower eggs in and boil for exactly 6 minutes. Transfer immediately to an ice bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté until fragrant (1-2 minutes). Add chicken thighs and sear until golden on each side (3-4 minutes per side).
  3. Simmer the broth: Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, and miso paste. Stir well to dissolve miso. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until chicken is tender and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken, shred with forks, and return to the pot.
  4. Cook the noodles: In a separate pot, cook ramen noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  5. Add creaminess: Stir in the milk gradually, heating the broth gently without boiling. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce or salt if needed.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide noodles into serving bowls. Ladle creamy chicken broth over noodles and top with shredded chicken.
  7. Add eggs and garnish: Peel soft-boiled eggs carefully, slice in half, and place on top. Sprinkle sliced green onions and optional toppings like nori or chili flakes.

Notes

Keep broth at a gentle simmer after adding milk to prevent curdling. Use an ice bath immediately after boiling eggs for perfect soft-boiled texture. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce and use gluten-free noodles. For dairy-free, use coconut or unsweetened almond milk instead of whole milk.
