3 cups (750 mL)

1 tbsp (15 mL)

Instructions
1
Stir garlic powder, with ground ginger and chili flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
2
Heat half the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften, 3 – 4 min. Stir in soy sauce and half the garlic powder mixture. Cook until mushrooms are tender and liquid is absorbed, 3 – 4 min. Remove mushrooms to a plate. Wipe skillet clean and return to heat.
3
Increase heat to medium high. Heat remaining oil in pan. Season both sides of chicken with salt and remaining garlic powder mixture. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4 min per side. Remove chicken to cutting board. Let rest for 5 minutes and slice.
4
Stir broth with chili garlic sauce in a small pot. Bring to a boil. Cook ramen, one brick at a time, until noodles are separated and tender, about 2 min. Using a pair of tongs or slotted spoon, remove ramen to soup bowl. Continue with second brick and then add to second bowl.
5
Divide broth amongst bowls with noodles and top with mushrooms, sliced chicken, carrots, green onion and egg. Finish with a drizzle of sriracha.
