Instructions
1
Prep
Slice the chicken thigh thinly. Grate the garlic, slice the scallion and bamboo shoot. Boil the egg separately for 7 minutes for a jammy yolk.
2
Sear
Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thigh for 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
3
Simmer
Add the chicken stock and kombu to the saucepan, bring to a bare simmer over medium heat, and cook uncovered for 20 minutes until the broth smells clean and faintly of the sea.
4
Season
Stir the sake, mirin, soy sauce, salt, and grated garlic into the broth. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes until fully dissolved.
5
Boil
Cook the ramen noodles in a separate pot of boiling water over high heat for 2 minutes until just tender with a slight bite.
6
Rest
Peel the egg under cold running water and let cool for 10 minutes until cool enough to halve.
7
Plate
Drain the noodles into a serving bowl. Ladle the hot broth and chicken over top. Arrange the egg half, bamboo shoot, and spinach around the noodles. Scatter the scallion over the bowl and drizzle sesame oil.
