Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
- 3 scallions minced
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha or chili paste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Ramen Noodles and Broth
- 6 cups low sodium chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup bok choy chopped
- 8 ounces Plain, unseasoned ramen noodles, cooked according to package directions or spaghetti
- salt to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- Sriracha or chile sauce optional for serving
Instructions
To make the meatballs:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients. Mix with a spatula or your hands to combine, but don't overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or small spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the meatball mix and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the meatballs on the 2 cookie sheets. You should have about 20 meatballs depending on the size.
- Roast the meatballs in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Turn them over halfway so they brown on both sides.
To make the broth:
- While the meatballs are roasing, combine the stock, ginger, garlic, soy sauce or tamari in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Add the shredded carrots, bok choy, noodles, and salt to taste. Simmer for about 10 minutes or just until the vegetables are wilted. Do not overcook them.
- Add the chopped cilantro and scallions just before serving so they stay crisp.
- Serve the ramen topped with a few meatballs and extra Sriracha or chile sauce if desired.
