Inspired by the series “Shogun”, this Chicken Ramen captures the elegance and complexity of Japanese tradition. A comforting dish that balances rich, layered flavors with simple, nourishing ingredients.

Ingredients :

• 500g ramen noodles
• 2 liters chicken broth (homemade or store-bought)
• 200g roasted chicken thighs, thinly sliced
• 4 soft-boiled eggs
• 100g marinated bamboo shoots
• 1 sheet of nori (seaweed) per bowl
• 4 green onions, finely chopped
• Soy sauce and sesame oil for seasoning

Method :

1. Broth: Simmer chicken bones, garlic, ginger, and onions for 3 hours. Add soy sauce to deepen the flavor.
2. Chicken: Roast chicken thighs marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger. Slice thinly.
3. Noodles: Boil according to package instructions, drain, and rinse with warm water.
4. Assemble: Place noodles in a bowl, pour hot broth over them, and top with chicken, bamboo shoots, egg, and green onions.
5. Garnish: Add a sheet of nori and a drizzle of soy sauce and sesame oil.

Recipe Notes :

• The Broth is King: If you’re short on time, use a high-quality store-bought broth, but simmer it with ginger and garlic for 20 minutes to elevate it.
• Perfect Eggs: For authentic soft-boiled eggs, boil them for exactly 6 minutes and 30 seconds, then immediately plunge them into an ice bath.
• Dietary Note: This version uses chicken instead of pork to cater to diverse dietary preferences while retaining an authentic essence.
