About This Recipe
Ramen is a soups and creams recipe with broad, cross-cultural appeal rather than roots in a single national cuisine. Dishes like this travel easily between kitchens and regions, picking up local ingredients and techniques along the way, which is why you will find so many variations built around chicken thigh, scallion, and ginger.
Like most enduring soups and creams recipes, this one is less about a rigid formula and more about balance. The version on this page is written for 1 serving and lands at roughly 598 calories each, so you can see exactly how it fits your day before you start cooking.
Plan for about 40 minutes from start to finish. The steps below keep the method approachable for a home cook while staying close to the flavors that make Ramen worth coming back to.
Ingredients
Instructions
Place the broth and ginger in a pot. Bring to a boil and add the chicken. Cook for 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.
Meanwhile, place water in a pot over high heat. Once boiled, add the egg and cook for 8 minutes.
Once the egg is ready, turn off, cut the cooking time with cold water, peel and set aside.
Once the chicken is done, remove and shred. Set aside.
Add the pasta to the broth and cook for 12 to 13 minutes.
Once done, add the chicken, mung bean sprouts, sesame oil, miso and shichimi. Mix together.
Add salt and serve in a soup plate. Garnish with scallions.

Ramen takes about 40 minutes from start to finish. That is roughly about 40 minutes of prep. Actual times vary with your equipment and how much you prep in advance.
Most ingredients in Ramen can be swapped for what you have on hand. Keep substitutions in the same role, trade one vegetable for another, one starch for another, or a protein for a similar protein, so cooking times and texture stay close. For dietary needs you can swap Pasta for a gluten-free equivalent. Larger swaps will shift the calories and macros shown on this page.

Reheat Ramen gently until it is piping hot throughout. The microwave is quickest for single portions, while the stovetop or oven keeps the texture closer to fresh. Add a splash of water or oil if it looks dry.

The calories and macros above are per serving, so they stay the same when you scale evenly.
Use a large pot or Dutch oven for Ramen so there is room to simmer without boiling over.
