Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium pot, bring 4 cups chicken broth and 2 tbsp curry powder to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Let it bubble gently for 5 minutes until fragrant and slightly thickened.

  2. Step 2

    While broth simmers, place 2 eggs in a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft yolk, then transfer to ice water and peel.

  3. Step 3

    Season 1 lb chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Let rest, then slice thinly.

  4. Step 4

    Add 8 oz tofu (cubed) and 2 cups baby spinach to the simmering broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts and tofu is heated through.

  5. Step 5

    Cook 2 packages ramen noodles according to package directions (usually 2-3 minutes in boiling water), then drain and divide between two bowls.

  6. Step 6

    Ladle the hot broth, tofu, and spinach over the noodles. Top with sliced chicken, halved soft-boiled eggs, and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

  7. Step 7

    For extra heat, stir in sriracha or chili oil before serving.
