A quick and easy savory chicken and spinach ramen that delivers cozy comfort with simple ingredients and rich, flavorful broth. Perfect for chilly evenings and busy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 4 servings ramen noodles (about 5 oz or 140 g dry)
  • 6 cups chicken broth (low sodium recommended)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • Optional toppings: soft-boiled egg, sesame seeds, chili flakes or sriracha

Instructions

  1. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot, bring 6 cups of chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Let simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse flavors.
  3. Stir in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Bring a separate pot of water to boil. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions (about 3-4 minutes) until tender but still springy. Drain and set aside.
  5. Stir shredded rotisserie chicken and fresh spinach leaves into the simmering broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until chicken is warmed through and spinach is wilted.
  6. Divide cooked ramen noodles among four bowls. Ladle hot chicken and spinach broth over noodles.
  7. Drizzle 1 teaspoon sesame oil over each bowl. Top with sliced green onions, soft-boiled egg if using, and sprinkle with sesame seeds or chili flakes to taste.

Notes

Do not overcook noodles to maintain a springy texture. Simmer broth gently to avoid harsh flavors. Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. Wilt spinach last to keep it vibrant. Shred chicken finely for better texture. Cooking soft-boiled eggs simultaneously saves time.
