Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 servings ramen noodles fresh or dried
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp chili oil spicy, flavorful
  • 1 cup chicken broth for sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce for depth of flavor
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar adds brightness
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream creates a silky sauce
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked and chopped
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Frying Pan
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water until just tender, then drain and set aside.
  2. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and cook the chicken breasts until golden and cooked through. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Add minced garlic to the same pan and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. The garlic should turn golden at the edges and release a warm aroma.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Whisk in heavy cream into the sauce to create a smooth, silky texture, cooking for another minute until just heated through.
  6. Add the cooked noodles to the sauce, tossing gently to coat each strand evenly. The sauce should cling to the noodles, giving them a glossy appearance.
  7. Fold in the crispy chicken pieces, distributing them throughout the noodles for added texture and flavor.
  8. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle more chili oil if you prefer extra heat.
  9. Serve the fiery garlic ramen hot, garnished with chopped scallions or fresh herbs if desired. The noodles should be glossy, the sauce silky, with crispy chicken providing a satisfying crunch.
