# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 4 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth, 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tsp sriracha (optional) in a large pot. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. This forms the flavorful foundation for your Easy High Protein Ramen Noodle Soup for Meal Prep.
02 -
Add 1 lb thinly sliced or shredded boneless, skinless chicken breast to the simmering broth. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove chicken, shred or slice, and set aside. Simultaneously, soft-boil 4 large eggs in a separate pot of water for 6-7 minutes, then peel and halve.
03 -
Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms to the simmering broth. Cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. The mushrooms will absorb the delicious broth, adding an earthy depth to your Easy High Protein Ramen Noodle Soup for Meal Prep.
04 -
Add 4 servings instant ramen noodles (discard flavor packets) to the broth. Cook according to package directions, usually 2-3 minutes, until tender. Stir in 4 cups packed baby spinach until just wilted. This completes the main components of your Easy High Protein Ramen Noodle Soup for Meal Prep.
05 -
Divide the cooked noodles and broth evenly among 4 meal prep containers or serving bowls. Top each with a portion of the shredded chicken, 2 egg halves, and a sprinkle of 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, and crumbled 2 sheets nori.
06 -
Allow the soup to cool completely before sealing containers for refrigeration. When ready to eat, reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave until warmed through. Garnish with extra toppings if desired for the best Easy High Protein Ramen Noodle Soup for Meal Prep experience.
# Notes:
01 -
Meal Prep Storage: Store individual portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best results, keep toppings like nori and green onions separate until serving to maintain their texture.
02 -
Protein & Veggie Swaps: Feel free to substitute chicken with firm tofu, edamame, or shrimp. Broccoli florets, bok choy, or shredded carrots make excellent additions to the veggie mix.
03 -
Egg Perfection: For perfectly jammy soft-boiled eggs, ensure your water is at a rolling boil before gently lowering the eggs in. An ice bath immediately after cooking stops the process and makes them easier to peel.
04 -
Noodle Freshness: If meal prepping for several days, consider cooking noodles separately and adding them to the broth just before reheating to prevent them from becoming too soft or mushy.
