Description
This Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce is a comforting, flavor-packed noodle bowl that brings together spicy marinated chicken, bouncy ramen noodles, and a luscious garlic cream sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinners or when you crave restaurant-style ramen at home.
Ingredients
4 boneless chicken thighs
2 packs ramen noodles
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons chili paste or sriracha
3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cooking oil (for marinade)
Instructions
1. Marinate the chicken thighs in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon chili paste, garlic, and oil for 30 minutes.
2. Heat a cast iron skillet and sear the marinated chicken until charred and cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
3. In a pot, boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4. In a pan, melt butter and sautée garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Add remaining soy sauce and chili paste to the sauce, then blend until creamy and smooth.
6. Slice the cooked chicken.
7. Divide noodles into bowls, pour sauce over, and top with chicken slices.
8. Garnish with green onions and a drizzle of chili oil if desired.
9. Serve immediately.
Notes
Let the chicken rest before slicing to retain juices and avoid drying out the meat.
Blend the sauce while hot for the smoothest texture without curdling.
Serve immediately for the best noodle texture; the sauce thickens as it cools.
