CHICKEN SHOYU RAMEN

GATHER INGREDIENTS

MARINATE CHICKEN

Place the cubed chicken in a small bowl and add minced ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and mirin. Coat well. Allow chicken to marinate for 30 minutes or longer to soak up the flavor.

PREPARE WAKAME

Soak dried wakame in water for 10 minutes or until soft. Squeeze water out of reconstituted wakame and set aside.

PREPARE OKRA

Boil a small pot of water. Add okra and, when water returns to a boil, cook for 10 seconds and drain. Let cool, then slice blanched okra lengthwise into quarters after removing the tops.

BROIL CHICKEN

Remove chicken from the bowl and place on a small sheet pan lined with foil. Broil on high for 3 minutes, then flip each piece to broil the other side for another 3 minutes. Check for doneness, as cooking time will depend on the size of the pieces.

PREPARE NOODLES

Boil 4 cups of water in a medium pot and cook 2 packages of Maruchan GOLD Soy Sauce Flavor Ramen for 3 minutes. Allow noodles to soften slightly, and then gently spread them apart.

PREPARE SOUP BASE

Place the contents of the soup base in each serving bowl, divide noodle broth and stir.

DIVIDE AND SERVE

Divide ramen into bowls and top each bowl with chicken, wakame, okra, scallions, shichimi pepper, salt and black pepper to taste. Enjoy!
