Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms. Sauté until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2 thinner slices. Cover with saran wrap and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick.
- Pat the chicken dry and season each side with salt and pepper.
- Heat remaining olive oil and butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside, turn the heat off. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then cut into strips of desired size.
- Add the wine and set the heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom and sides of the skillet. Let the wine bubble gently and reduce by half, 4-5 minutes.
- Add the butter and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, hot sauce, honey, sesame oil, and soup seasonings. Bring to a gentle boil and let the broth reduce and concentrate for 10 minutes while you soft boil eggs for serving.
- Bring the soup to a more rapid boil, add the Ramen, and cook for 1 minute. Reduce to a gentle simmer and add the Bok Choy along with the cooked mushrooms and chicken. Simmer until the noodles are done, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer to serving bowls and top with green onions, roughly chopped peanuts, and a soft-boiled egg.
Notes
Soft Boiled Eggs: Submerge the eggs in 2 inches of cool water in a pot on the stove-top. Gradually bring them to a gentle boil. Set a timer for 6 minutes, use a slotted spoon to remove them immediately after. Rinse them under cool running water to stop the cooking process, then peel and slice in half lengthwise.
