# Instructions:
01 -
Boil 4 large eggs for 6-7 minutes for jammy yolks; immediately transfer to an ice bath. Gently poach 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast in simmering water until cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Shred or slice the chicken for your Savory Gluten Free Ramen Noodles: High Protein Meal Prep.
02 -
In a large pot, combine 6 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, 1/4 cup gluten-free tamari, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
03 -
Remove a small amount of hot broth and whisk in 2 tbsp white or yellow miso paste until smooth. Return the mixture to the pot and stir well. Add 1 tsp sriracha (optional) for a kick. Keep the broth warm for your Savory Gluten Free Ramen Noodles: High Protein Meal Prep.
04 -
Cook 12 oz gluten-free ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain well. In the last 2-3 minutes of noodle cooking, add 4 heads baby bok choy (halved lengthwise) and 4 oz sliced shiitake or cremini mushrooms to the simmering broth to gently wilt and warm.
05 -
Divide the cooked gluten-free ramen noodles evenly among 4 serving bowls. Ladle the hot umami-rich broth over the noodles, ensuring each bowl receives a portion of the tender bok choy and flavorful mushrooms.
06 -
Top each bowl of Savory Gluten Free Ramen Noodles: High Protein Meal Prep with the shredded chicken, halved soft-boiled eggs, 1/4 cup sliced green onions, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Drizzle with 1 tsp chili oil (optional) for an extra layer of flavor and heat.
# Notes:
01 -
Meal Prep Tip: For best results, store broth, cooked noodles, chicken, and toppings separately. Reheat broth and noodles, then add fresh toppings just before serving.
02 -
Vegetarian Option: Omit chicken and use vegetable broth. Boost protein with pan-fried tofu or edamame.
03 -
Perfect Eggs: For jammy yolks, ensure eggs go directly from boiling water into an ice bath to halt cooking immediately.
04 -
Broth Depth: For an even richer broth, consider simmering a small piece of kombu (dried kelp) with the broth base, removing it before adding miso.
