Ingredients:

– Salt and pepper for seasoning
– 2 tablespoons Olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
– 1 small onion (finely chopped)
– 1 tablespoon Soy sauce

Instructions:
1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil and add the chicken. Cook for about 5 minutes each side or until fully cooked and browned. Remove it from the pot and set it aside.
2. In the same pot, throw in the minced garlic, finely chopped onion, and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
3. Add soy sauce, chicken broth, and water into the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. While the soup is simmering, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken back into the pot.
5. Add the Ramen noodles into the pot and stir. Cook for 2-3 minutes or as instructed on the noodle’s packaging.
6. Once the noodles are cooked, it’s time to serve. Ladle the soup, ensuring to include chicken, noodles and broth into the bowls.
7. Top the bowls with your preferred toppings. This could include a generous serving of sliced boiled egg, green onions, seaweed, and optionally, bean sprouts.

How to improve this Ramen recipe
To enhance your Ramen recipe, consider making the broth from scratch, rather than relying on store-bought versions or flavor packets. Homemade broth offers greater depth of flavor – try simmering chicken bones, pork bones, or kombu (seaweed) for a more authentic taste.
Experimenting with additional toppings can also take your Ramen to new culinary heights. For a nutrient boost, add vegetables like corn, mushrooms or spinach. For extra texture and flavor, consider chashu pork, marinated soft-boiled eggs, or nori (seaweed sheets). Always remember, layering flavors makes for a more satisfying dish.
