Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    In a Dutch oven, heat avocado oil to medium heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper on all sides. Add chicken to the hot oil; sear 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer to a cutting board; set aside.

  2. 2

    To the Dutch oven, add the bok coy. Cook 2-3 minutes or until slightly tender. Add shallot, ginger and garlic; cook 30-60 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in miso paste, peanut butter, honey, chili garlic paste and sesame oil; cook another 30-60 seconds or until fragrant. Whisk in chicken stock and coconut milk; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Add seared chicken; cook 8-10 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Use tongs to transfer the chicken back to the cutting board; cut or shred into bite-sized pieces. Add back to the Dutch oven.

  4. 4

    Bring the broth to a simmer. Add the ramen noodles; cook 5-6 minutes or until tender. Stir in Meyer lemon zest and juice. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

  5. 5

    Use a ladle to serve broth, noodles, vegetables and chicken in bowls. Top with soft boiled egg, chili oil, sesame seeds and green onion to serve.
