Equipment
- 1 large pot
- 1 skillet
- 1 whisk
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 cutting board
- 4 serving bowls
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 4 packets ramen noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili paste Adjust for spice level.
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup green onions, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Salt and pepper To taste.
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, soy sauce, chili paste, and sesame oil. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, letting the chicken absorb the flavors. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, avoiding burning.
- Stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, then mix in the cornstarch dissolved in water to thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- While the sauce simmers, soft boil the eggs in boiling water for 6-7 minutes. After cooking, transfer them to ice water to cool for easy peeling.
- Once the ramen noodles are cooked, drain them and divide them among four serving bowls. Top each with the spicy chicken mixture and pour the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
- Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and add them to each bowl. Garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the chili paste according to your spice preference. You can also add vegetables such as spinach or bok choy for extra nutrition and texture. If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream.
