Directions:
- Sauté – Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken with Chinese five-spice powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté chicken thighs 5 to 7 minutes per side, until chicken is browned. Transfer chicken to plate. When cool, slice thighs into strips.
- Simmer – Remove all but 1 tsp oil from Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 30 to 45 seconds. Add chicken stock, soy sauce, and sugar. Remove stems from shiitake mushrooms, slice into strips and add to broth. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add baby boy chow and sliced thighs to broth and simmer about 5 minutes or until boy chow is under and chicken is cooked through.
- Serve – Divide cooked ramen noodles into 4 bowls. Ladle in broth. Add mushrooms and box chow from broth. Top with sliced chicken, scallions, and hard-boiled eggs. Serve with sriracha sauce and lime wedges on the side.
