Ingredients

- 0.17 oz kombu (dried kelp)
- 2.1 oz boneless chicken thigh (cut into bite-sized pieces) or ground chicken
Instructions
- Put the specified amount of water from your instant ramen package into a pot along with kombu, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes until the kombu softens.
- Add chicken to the pot and simmer it together with the kombu over very low heat for about 10 minutes. When small bubbles appear on the surface of the liquid, remove the kombu.

- Loosen the noodles and continue simmering for the remaining one-third of the time.
- Turn off the heat, then mix in the flavor packet. Serve in a bowl and add ramen toppings according to your preference.
