Instructions

Cook ramen noodles according to package directions and set aside. If using brown rice ramen, be sure to leave the noodles sitting in a small amount of cold water to avoid sticking while the chicken and broth are cooked.

In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, ground ginger, and chili powder. Place thighs and seasoning mix in a medium bowl and use tongs to mix until seasoning coats the chicken evenly.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven. Add shiitake mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add chicken thighs and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, until they begin to brown. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. There should be brown bits from the chicken left in the pan. Cut the chicken into strips once cooled.

To the same hot pan over medium heat, add 1 cup of chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bits from the bottom of the pan as they loosen. After about 60 seconds, add remaining broth and soy sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Assemble your noodle bowls: add noodles, mushrooms, chicken, cover with 2 cups of broth and add toppings.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Sear Chicken Thighs First 🔥
Brown the chicken thighs in avocado oil for 3-4 minutes per side before adding broth to develop a flavorful crust and deeper umami that elevates the entire dish.
Slice Shiitakes Strategically 🍄
Cut mushrooms into thin, even slices and add them 5 minutes before serving so they retain their meaty texture rather than becoming mushy in prolonged simmering.
Toast Spices in Oil First 🌶️
Bloom the garlic powder, ginger, and chili powder in the avocado oil for 30 seconds before adding broth to unlock their essential oils and intensify their aromatic potency.
Cook Noodles Separately 🍜
Boil the millet and brown rice ramen in a separate pot and add just before serving to prevent them from absorbing too much broth and becoming overcooked or mushy.
Finish with Avocado Oil Drizzle 🥑
Add a final teaspoon of quality avocado oil to each bowl just before serving to create a silky mouthfeel and enhance the perception of richness without excess salt.
