Chicken
- 2 boneless chicken breasts

Here's how to make it:

- To cook the noodles, add them to a pot of boiling water. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.
- Slice the chicken.
- To assemble the bowls, add some noodles and broth. Top with sliced chicken, a soft-boiled egg cut in half, green onions and sesame seeds.
