1. 1. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey/maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. This creates the star of your ginger glazed chicken ramen.

2. 2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil. Cook the chicken pieces until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3. Glaze the Chicken: Pour about half of the prepared ginger glaze over the cooked chicken. Bring to a simmer. In a small cup, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the chicken mixture. Cook until the glaze thickens and coats the chicken beautifully. Set aside.

4. 4. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a simmer. Add carrots and mushrooms (if using), cooking for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.

5. 5. Cook Noodles & Greens: Add ramen noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually 2-3 minutes. Just before the noodles finish, stir in the spinach or bok choy until wilted.

6. 6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked noodles and broth among four serving bowls. Top each bowl generously with the ginger-glazed chicken.

7. 7. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle the remaining ginger glaze from the pan over the chicken and noodles. Garnish your Ginger Glazed Chicken Ramen Bowl with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy your delicious chicken ramen bowl immediately!
