For the Ramen:

The Vegetables and Garnish:
- 1 cup carrots (julienned or thinly sliced)
- 1 cup bok choy (chopped)
- 1/2 cup mushrooms (sliced)
- 1/4 cup green onions (sliced thin)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preparation:
Step1: Prepare the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step2: Make the Ginger Glaze
- In the same skillet, combine soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes.
Step3: Coat the Chicken
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
- Toss the chicken in the ginger glaze until well coated. Allow the chicken to absorb the flavors for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step4: Cook the Ramen
- Bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil in a medium-sized pot.
- Add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes).
- Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil to enhance the flavor.
Step5: Prepare the Vegetables
- While the ramen cooks, steam or sauté the carrots, bok choy, and mushrooms until tender.
- Set the vegetables aside for assembling the dish.
Step6: Assemble the Ramen Bowl
- Divide the cooked ramen noodles into serving bowls.
- Pour the hot broth over the noodles.
- Top each bowl with the glazed chicken, steamed vegetables, and green onions.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro, if desired.
