Follow these simple steps to create your Fiery Chicken Ramen:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add chicken to the pot and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from the pot and place on a cutting board.
3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Build the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and add soy sauce and chili paste. Stir well to combine.
5. Add Vegetables: Bring the broth to a boil, then add bok choy and mushrooms. Let simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Cook the Noodles: Add ramen noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes.
7. Slice the Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
8. Assemble the Bowl: Once the noodles are cooked, divide them into bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, fresh scallions, and a soft-boiled egg, if using.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro and sliced red chili peppers on top for extra flavor and presentation.
10. Serve: Squeeze lime juice over the ramen for added zest before enjoying.
