Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch until no lumps remain. Add chicken stock, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic and whisk until evenly combined.
- Heat a pot or bowl of water in the microwave or on the stove until steaming. Add noodles and set let them soak until just tender. (Check the package instructions for the recommended timing, but reduce by one minute since noodles will continue to cook slightly more when added to the stir-fry.) When the noodles are tender, drain.
- While noodles soak, toss chicken with some salt and pepper.
- Heat a wok or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil and then chicken. Saute until chicken is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Set chicken aside.
- Return wok to medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil and then broccoli. Saute broccoli until it turns bright green and then continue cooking until broccoli is tender (if using frozen broccoli, just saute it until it's heated through and the excess water cooks off).
- Add sauce to the pan and toss to coat broccoli. Continue cooking until sauce reduces slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add chicken and noodles to the pan and toss everything to coat in sauce.
- Remove from heat and add green onions and sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately!

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, honey, vinegar, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the canola oil. Add the chicken and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons from the carrots; there should be about 1 cup of carrot ribbons.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, remove from the heat and add the ramen noodles; let sit for 2 minutes, then drain.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet or wok. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Stir-fry the chicken in the hot oil until cooked through, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the cabbage, onion and carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup water, scraping up any browned chicken bits from the bottom. Add the cooked ramen noodles, cooked chicken and reserved marinade to the skillet along with the scallions. Stir-fry until everything is heated through and uniformly combined, an additional minute. Serve immediately with sriracha and lime wedges.
TOP RAMEN WITH CHICKEN
This is how I make Top Ramen. For some reason, I like the texture of Top Ramen better than proper soba noodles.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into chunks, or thin slices, depending on how you like it to look. This is easiest if the chicken is still half frozen.
- Heat a skillet slightly. Add the first set of oil, shoyu, vinegar, garlic, and honey. Once it is warm enough that the honey melts, add the chicken. Cook over medium heat.
- Brown chicken until it is very dark. I like mine just before it burns.
- Once the meat starts to brown, let it cook for a while. Meanwhile, make the soup.
- Add the second set of shoyu, vinegar, ginger, and honey to a sauce pan. Add enough water that noodles will just be covered. Heat water until the honey is mixed in completely.
- This is when you want to adjust to taste. I find the soup is different every time. Partly because I don't measure, but partly because it depends on the honey.
- Add the konbu (a type of seaweed) to the soup, if desired.
- Add the frozen veggies.
- Heat to a boil. Remove konbu.
- Add noodles (but throw away the icky spice packet) and boil for three minutes. If the chicken isn't done, hold off on adding the noodles to the water. They'll get soggy otherwise.
- Place noodles in two bowls with a small amount of broth. Add chicken on top. Garnish with chopped peanuts or pickled ginger.

CHICKEN RAMEN BOWL
The holiday hoopla is over and I'm setting my sights on eating whole. Ramen has been all the rage and I've been dying to try this at home. I never skimp on flavor even when I'm eating light. This dish is a total flavor bomb, filled with a rich broth, tender meat, and noodles, topped with a 7-minute egg - my new favorite thing in the world. My family went nuts for this; it's complex, easy, and satisfying. You don't have to make the egg, but I think it's so worth it.

Steps:
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook about 30 seconds more. Add rice vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, fish sauce, and sriracha sauce; stir to combine. Add chicken broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes. Add chicken and bok choy; simmer gently until bok choy is just tender, about 2 minutes.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add ramen noodles and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and drizzle with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- While ramen is cooking, fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs and bring to a boil. Gently lower eggs into the boiling water and cook until yolks are barely set, about 7 minutes.

- Divide ramen between 4 bowls. Add broth. Top each with jalapeno, green onions, cilantro, and soft boiled egg. Serve immediately.
