Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/2 diced medium onion red or yellow works!
  • 2 chopped medium carrots
  • 1 cup finely chopped green beans
  • 1 diced jalepeno optional, omit if you do not want spice or remove the seeds for less spice.
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch grated fresh ginger
  • 1 32 ounce carton chicken broth I love using a good quality chicken bone broth
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper optional, if you like heat!
  • 2 cups chopped mushrooms
  • 1 packet or block ramen noodles see subsitutions for my favorite brand!
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Topping

  • 2 cooked and sliced chicken breasts optional (rotisserie works here!)
  • 4 soft boiled eggs optional
  • chopped green onions
  • sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, add about a half tablespoon of avocado oil, the onion, carrots, jalapeno and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 7 minutes on medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and ginger. Mix for about a minute. Add chicken broth and coconut aminos. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add in the mushrooms and ramen noodles. Lower to a simmer. Continue to simmer until noodles are soft and cooked through. (Depending on your noodles or package instructions, about 2-3 minutes)
  • Top with chopped green onions, soft boiled eggs and sliced chicken for the perfect classic bowl of ramen!! ENJOY

Chicken Breasts (optional, for topping)

  • Create chicken cutlets with chicken breasts by laying flat on a cutting board and placing one hand on top and slicing horizontaly with a sharp knife. This divides the breast in half, helping it to cook well and not be dry.
  • Salt and pepper both sides of chicken breasts and sear in a cast iron skillet with avocado oil for about 3 minutes a side until cooked through. Slice and place on top of your bowl of ramen!

Soft Boiled Eggs (optional)

  • Add water to a sauce pan and allow it to come to a boil. Once it i at a roiling boil, add the amount of eggs you would like, place a lid on top of the saucepan and boil for exactly 6 minutes. NO LONGER.
  • Remove eggs and place in an ice bath for a few minutes, then peel, slice and place on top of your bowl of ramen. ENJOY!!
