  3. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  5. Divide the ramen and broth between two bowls. Top with cooked chicken, hard-boiled eggs, scallions, and nori strips, if desired.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, you can simmer the broth for a few extra minutes before adding the noodles, or mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the simmering broth until thickened.
