Instructions
  1. Marinate the Chicken: Coat the chicken thighs with soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the broth.

  4. Cook the Chicken: In a pan, cook the marinated chicken thighs over medium-high heat until golden and fully cooked (6-7 minutes per side). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  5. Prepare the Noodles: Boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  6. Assemble the Ramen Bowl: Divide the noodles into bowls, pour over the hot broth, and top with sliced chicken, soft-boiled eggs, green onions, carrots, spinach, sesame seeds, and chili flakes.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Mix everything together and enjoy your spicy homemade ramen!
