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
- 1/2 cup scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon corn starch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and let rest.
- In a pot, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Bring to a boil.
- Add ramen noodles to the boiling broth and cook according to package directions (about 3-4 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, mix heavy cream and corn starch mixture. Slowly add to the broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Thinly slice the cooked chicken.
- Once noodles are cooked, add spinach and scallions to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Add sliced chicken back into the pot. Heat through.
- Ladle ramen into bowls, ensuring each serving has noodles, chicken, and vegetables.
- Drizzle with sesame oil and additional sriracha if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for best flavor.
- Adjust sauce consistency by adding more broth for a thinner sauce or reducing corn starch.
- A squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving can enhance flavors.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or mushrooms.
- For a seafood variation, use shrimp or scallops.
- Experiment with udon or soba noodles.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, separate broth and chicken; broth can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat broth and cook fresh noodles when ready to serve.
