How to Make It

Boil the eggs
Bring a pot of water to a boil and gently add the eggs. Boil for 6–7 minutes, then cool in ice water to stop cooking. Peel the eggs once cooled.
Cook the chicken
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Then, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Make the sauce
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, gochugaru, honey, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and stir until it evenly coats the chicken. Cook for an additional minute.
Cook the noodles
In a separate pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions until tender, usually about 4-5 minutes.
