Chicken Ramen in a Shoyu-Style Broth
with Mushrooms, Chili Garlic Oil & Crispy Onions
- Soy
- Wheat
Our chefs are obsessed with ramen—and no, we don’t mean the microwave 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 broth, plus chicken, mushrooms, 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.

Cooking Steps
• 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 and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).
• 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 until just tender, 1-2 minutes. • Drain, then toss noodles with a drizzle of oil. Keep empty pot handy for next step.
• 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. Simmer until ready to serve.
• While broth simmers, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season 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 mushrooms and a pinch of salt to pan used for chicken over medium- high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Add a drizzle of oil to 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 some noodles between large soup bowls. Pour some broth over noodles. (You may have noodles and broth left over—save for seconds!) Stir in as much chili garlic oil as you like. • Top each bowl with chicken, mushrooms, 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.

Reviews from our home cooks
Anyone who loves Ramen Soup will be amazed with this recipe. The broth is so flavorful, chicken was tender and tasty and the crispy onions were perfect! The Chili Garlic Oil was a little too much for my tastebuds, but daughter and husband loved it!!!
This chicken ramen recipe has been our favorite hello fresh recipe so far. So yummy. Easy to follow recipe, very large portion, and easy cleanup.
Not the most true or authentic ramen, and I would expect pork in a shoyu broth. As a soup it still tasted great and I would come back to it. Cooked it with a friend and we had fun with it, wasn't confusing but ingredient prep was lengthy even with two of us. I would say it's beginner-friendly, maybe not kid-friendly with all of the knife prep. Regardless, my friend doesn't have much experience cooking and had no issues grasping the instructions at all.
Outrageously good for homemade!! The ramen was perfectly cooked per instructions and with a tad extra chili oil for my heat tolerance this was out of the park delicious!! Yet another seemingly farfetched culinary pursuit somehow achieve in six steps... and such a lovely broth; rich and savory with the garlic/ginger duo -- incredible recipe!
I've lived in JAPAN, and this ramen is the best I have ever tasted!! No kidding, this ramen is divine!! Even warmed up the next day by adding more chicken broth, it was just as good!!! Thank you, and please offer every week!!!!
This and the chicken/carrot ramen from a few boxes ago are both FANTASTIC. Will definitely be adding all the ramen options when they come in future boxes. The broth is already so salty though, I would suggest cutting back on salting spinach/chicken/mushrooms/etc. The crispy onions were a fun touch for this recipe!!
This was my first Taste Tours recipe and OH MY GOSH it was so good! Definitely more steps involved than my typical recipe, but so worth it. I love anything Ramen, but this was next level! The sesame garlic oil and crunchy onions definitely added something extra. Super yummy!
This Ramen dish is restaurant quality. It took a long time to make since each ingredient had to be prepared separately. The broth is very tasty. It tasted great for dinner and even better for lunch the next day
We love this ramen recipe. The only problem we had this time was that the chicken was striated looking when we took it out of the package, and had a rubbery texture to it when cooked. I couldn't eat it, so I just ate the noodles and broth (both of which tasted great).
I am only submitting one comment for a small improvement on the ramen recipe: everything was so good with great spices, except the actual noodles. We cooked them exactly as instructed, but they still clumped together and then fell apart in the yummy broth. Maybe you can try a new brand or vendor just for the noodles(?)
