Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 packs of ramen noodles
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice level)
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • ½ cup scallions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure all the ingredients before starting. It makes the cooking process smoother.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and let rest.
  3. Make the Broth: In a pot, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic, and ginger. Bring it to a boil.
  4. Cook the Ramen: Add ramen noodles to the boiling broth and cook according to package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes.
  5. Prepare Creamy Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream and corn starch liquid. Slowly add it to the broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Slice the Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, thinly slice the cooked chicken thighs.
  7. Combine Ingredients: Once the noodles are cooked, add spinach and scallions to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  8. Finish the Dish: Add sliced chicken back into the pot, ensuring everything is well mixed and heated through.
  9. Serve Immediately: Ladle the ramen into bowls, making sure to include noodles, chicken, and vegetables in each serving.
  10. Garnish: Drizzle with sesame oil and a touch more sriracha for additional heat before serving.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for the freshest vegetables and herbs for maximum flavor in your broth.
  • Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner sauce, reduce the amount of corn starch or add more chicken broth.
  • Top with Lime: A squeeze of fresh lime juice right before serving can enhance the dish’s vibrant flavors.
  • Vegetarian Adaptation: Substitute chicken with tofu or mushrooms for a plant-based option.
  • Seafood Twist: Replace chicken with shrimp or scallops for a delightful seafood ramen experience.
  • Different Noodles: Use udon or soba noodles instead of ramen for a different texture and flavor.
  • Storage: Store any leftover ramen in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: To freeze, separate the noodles from the broth and chicken. The broth can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat and cook fresh noodles when ready to serve.
  • Gluten-Free Alternative: Use gluten-free ramen or other gluten-free noodles, and ensure the soy sauce is gluten-free as well.
