Ingredients

6 cups chicken broth
1 bunch green onions, sliced
4 cups chopped bok choy
¼ cup soy sauce
1 small carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small stalk celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons ginger root, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1 (12 ounce) package ramen noodles

Steps:

Heat chicken broth in a stock pot over medium heat until boiling. Add green onions; reduce heat and simmer until flavors are released, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bok choy, soy sauce, carrot, celery, ginger, peanut butter, sriracha, garlic, and sugar. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in ramen and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the ramen is tender yet firm to the bite, 2 to 5 minutes. Drain. Portion noodles into serving bowls.
Place chicken into the pot of broth. Simmer until chicken is heated through, about 4 minutes. Pour soup over the noodles.
