Definitely not a traditional recipe, I'm not super experienced with cooking ramen other than a few months working in a kitchen and now I make it at home sometimes ever since, so i just kinda improvised. I suppose this would be a sort of shoyu broth, it's chicken bone/veggie broth with ginger, garlic, hot peppers and carrots, onions etc simmered in it all day.

I had to make two attempts at the eggs because I'm visiting somewhere about 5k ft higher altitude than where I live so that changed my cooking time and the first batch was a bit too hard. They marinated in soy sauce with some ginger for like 8hrs

I cooked the chicken thighs in a slow cooker with lemon, lime and orange juice, honey, garlic, ginger, hot peppers, onions, and a little mustard and apple cider vinegar. The vinegar and lemon balanced out the honey and orange so it wasn't overly sweet like I feared it might be

Put some bok choi in the broth after straining and some negi on top. I would've added some enoki mushrooms probably but my gf doesn't like mushrooms so I went with sliced avocado. Feel free to critique or offer suggestions, I'd love to hear it!

    Not sure that I’m with you on the avocado (and fork). But everything else looks good.

  3. ramen is ramen! it looks beautiful. bet it tastes great too with the stuff you mentioned.

  4. Anti fork consensus is duly noted! Didn’t plan ahead sufficiently, will make sure to have chopsticks on hand next time 🫡

    I mean, technically, if you used the proper noodles, then it’s still ramen… But man, that flavor profile is uhhhhhhh… different.
