method

1
Cook the chicken – Heat 1 tablespoon of the extra-virgin olive oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over high heat.
2
Add the chicken and cook for 3–4 minutes, breaking it up until browned all over and any excess moisture has cooked off.
3
Build the ramen – Add the remaining extra-virgin olive oil, the tamari or all-purpose soy sauce, brown sugar and the dark soy sauce (if using). Cook for 2–3 minutes or until the chicken is crispy and golden. Set aside in a bowl.
4
To the same pot, over medium heat, add the sesame oil, butter, garlic, ginger and spring onion. Cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes, until slightly softened and fragrant.
5
Add the chicken stock, water, coconut milk, miso paste, tamari or all-purpose soy sauce and vinegar.
6
Add the noodles – Bring the broth to the boil. Add the ramen noodles, pushing them under the liquid. Cook briefly for 1 minute (or 1 minute less than the packet instructions suggest – the noodles will continue cooking as they sit in the hot broth), separating the noodles with tongs as they cook. Season the broth to taste with tamari or all-purpose soy sauce.
7
Serve – Divide the ramen among the serving bowls. Top each bowl with the crispy chicken mince and your choice of toppings.
