Directions

For the eggs: Start the eggs first, before the other steps, including prepping the vegetables. Place a pot filled with enough water to boil the eggs over high heat. While waiting for the water to boil, start the chicken. Once the egg water is boiling, reduce heat slightly to simmer, and use a slotted spoon to carefully add the eggs to the water. Simmer for anywhere between 3½ - 5 minutes (depending on altitude) for a runny yolk and 5 - 7 minutes for a soft-boiled egg. Remove from heat, drain water, and rinse eggs under cold water. Set aside.
For the chicken: Salt and pepper the chicken breasts on both sides. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 6 minutes. While the chicken cooks, chop the vegetables and start step 3. After chicken has cooked for 6 minutes on one side, flip and cook for 6 minutes on the second side. Once done, cover and remove from heat.
In a large soup pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring every minute until the vegetables are starting to caramelize slightly. Reduce the temperature if the vegetables start to burn.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the ginger and garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic and ginger become fragrant and are beginning to soften.
Add the broth, coconut aminos or tamari, mirin, and red pepper flakes and stir. Rinse the kelp noodles under cold water and using kitchen shears, cut the noodles into more manageable sized noodles and add to the soup. Add the broccolini, stir, cover, and bring to a boil; once boiling immediately reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the broccolini is starting to soften.
Stir in ¾ of the green onions (leaving some for garnish), ¾ of the cilantro (leaving some for garnish), and the red pepper. Cover and continue to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Set up a serving station—bowls, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, remaining green onion and cilantro, salt and pepper, utensils, and napkins.
Peel the eggs and add to a plate at the serving station. Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board and slice the chicken thinly against the grain into ¼-inch to ½-inch slices.
To serve: Divide the soup among four large soup bowls; divide the sliced chicken breast evenly among the bowls, setting the slices to one side of the bowl; add one egg to each bowl, cutting the egg in half over the bowl, using caution to avoid letting the soft yolk spill out, and place the egg halves next to the chicken, yolk-side up, and season with salt and pepper. Top each soup bowl with the remaining diced green onion, chopped cilantro, and sriracha, finishing with a drizzle of sesame oil over the top. Serve immediately with extra sriracha on the side if desired.
