How to Make It
Create this delightful ramen bowl in just a few simple steps.
Boil the eggs
Place the eggs in a pot of boiling water, cooking for 6–7 minutes. Once done, cool in ice water, then peel the shells off carefully.
Cook the chicken
In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Then, mix in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring well.
Prepare the sauce
In a bowl, combine the gochujang, gochugaru, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder. Pour this mixture over the cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Cook the ramen
In a separate pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically around 3-4 minutes.
Assemble the bowls
Divide the cooked ramen noodles among serving bowls. Top with the chicken mixture and carefully slice the jammy eggs in half, placing them on top.
How to Store It
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, the eggs do not freeze well.
Reheat: Microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
