Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Sauté 3 minced garlic cloves and the white parts of 4 chopped green onions for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, followed by 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of mirin (if using). Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream until well combined. Warm through for 3-5 minutes without boiling.
  4. Prepare 4 servings of ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually boiling for about 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  5. Add 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken, 2 cups of fresh spinach, and 1 cup of thinly sliced carrots to the broth. Stir gently and let heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Divide the cooked ramen noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the creamy broth filled with chicken and vegetables over the noodles.
  7. Top each bowl with soft-boiled eggs cut in half and sprinkle with green parts of chopped green onions. Season with soy sauce or chili oil if desired.
