Our chefs are obsessed with ramen—and no, we don’t mean the instant variety. We’re talking about that soul-stirring combination of rich broth, tender meat and veggies, and a tangle of chewy noodles. This version stars a super-flavorful soy-infused pork broth, plus chicken, carrots, and spinach. Each bowl’s topped off with a homemade chili-garlic oil and fried onions for crispy contrast. If you weren’t a hopeless ramen-tic yet, this will make you one.

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince ginger. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ¼-inch-thick pieces.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine sesame seeds, half the garlic, half the sesame oil (you’ll use the rest later), a drizzle of oil, a big pinch of salt, and chili flakes to taste. • Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave until fragrant, 30 seconds. Set aside.
• Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2 minutes. • Drain, then toss noodles with a drizzle of oil. • Return empty pot to stove.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pot used for noodles over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, ginger, and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring, 30 seconds. • Stir in 3½ cups water (7 cups for 4 servings), pork ramen stock concentrates, chicken stock concentrates, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer until ready to serve.
• While broth simmers, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Drizzle with remaining sesame oil and turn chicken a few times to coat. • Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest.
• Add carrots and a pinch of salt to pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 5-7 minutes. (TIP: Add a splash of water if carrots begin to brown too quickly.) Transfer carrots to a plate. • Add a drizzle of oil to same pan, then add spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 2-3 minutes; season with salt. (TIP: If necessary, cook spinach in batches.) Turn off heat.
• Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide noodles between large soup bowls. Pour some broth over noodles. (You may have noodles and broth left over—seconds!) Stir in as much chili garlic oil as you like. • Top each bowl with chicken, carrots, spinach, and scallion greens. Sprinkle with a few crispy onions and serve. TIP: Don’t add all the onions just yet! Add as you eat to keep them nice and crispy.
