Ingredients
Scale
- 2 servings of ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (sliced thin)
- 2 cups chicken broth (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili paste
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 soft-boiled egg (optional, for topping)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
Instructions
- Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken thighs and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same pot, pour in the chicken broth. Stir in soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add the sliced green onions and baby spinach to the broth. Allow them to wilt for about 2-3 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken into the pot, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sriracha until smooth.
- Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth and chicken mixture over the noodles. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously on top.
- If desired, top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg and garnish with additional green onions and chili flakes for extra heat.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or seitan, and use vegetable broth. Adjust chili paste to customize spice level.
