Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Chicken Ramen

  4. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and 1/4 cup of soy sauce, then stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  5. Carefully drop in 8 ounces of ramen noodles, along with chosen vegetables. Cook according to noodle package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and a light drizzle of sesame oil. Add toasted sesame seeds or chili peppers to taste.
