Step-by-step
- Chicken: Season chicken with poultry seasonings. Grill them in a well-heated skillet with 1 tbsp oil until the chicken is completely cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Set the chicken aside. Deglaze the skillet with 3-4 tbsp chicken stock and scrap off the brown bits. Pour the sauce over chicken. Cover the bowl and keep it warm.
- Toppings: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Lower the heat to simmering. Carefully and slowly add the eggs and low simmer for 6-7 minutes. Soak in cold water to stop cooking. Use the same water to blanch bok choy for 30 seconds and mushrooms and sprouts for 5-10 seconds. Soak them in cold water to stop cooking then set aside to drain well.
- Paste and Broth: Prepare two large noodle bowls. Combine and stir-well Whole30 Tantanmen Ramen paste and divide the paste evenly over two bowls. Preheat chicken bone broth in a soup pot until it’s nice warm and hot ready to use.
- Assemble: Add 1 cup chicken bone broth to each noodle bowl. Gently stir with a spoon or whisk to combine the paste and broth well. Add zucchini noodles, chicken, ramen toppings, and scallions. Drizzle the pan juice from the grilled chicken over the noodle bowl. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if using. Serve hot and immediately.
