Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Marinade
- 1 pound chicken thighs, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (such as gochujang or sambal)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Soup
- 4 packs ramen noodles, seasoning discarded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Toppings
- Sliced green onions, for topping
- Sesame seeds, for topping
- Boiled eggs, halved (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken thighs with soy sauce, chili paste, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly and let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the spicy and savory flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sauté until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through, then remove it from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Broth: In a soup pot, bring the chicken broth and minced garlic to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, blending it well with the broth to create a rich, creamy base.
- Cook the Ramen Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions until tender.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the pot with noodles and broth. Ladle the hot ramen into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and optionally, halved boiled eggs. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can adjust the spice level by varying the amount or type of chili paste used.
- Substitute coconut milk for a dairy-free option or for a subtle tropical flavor.
- Boiled eggs add extra protein and richness but can be omitted for a lighter dish.
- Use fresh garlic for a bolder flavor rather than garlic powder in the marinade if preferred.
- Ensure not to overcook the ramen noodles to avoid mushiness.
