Directions

Cook the Chicken:

  1. Season the chicken thighs generously with cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook until golden and crisp, about 7–8 minutes. Flip and cook another 6–8 minutes until done.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a warm oven (200℉) while you prepare the broth.

Make the Ramen Broth:

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic, sauté 2–3 minutes.
  2. Stir in soy sauce and mirin. Cook 1 minute.
  3. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce to a simmer, add shiitake mushrooms, and cook uncovered for 10–15 minutes.
  5. Stir in chicken bouillon powder. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Make the Soft-Boiled Eggs:

  1. Bring water to a boil. Gently lower cold eggs into the water. Cook 7 minutes for runny yolks, 8 minutes for set yolks.
  2. Transfer to an ice bath, peel once cooled, and slice in half.

Cook the Ramen Noodles:

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles according to package (2–3 minutes). Drain and set aside.

Assemble the Ramen Bowls:
