Ingredients
2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
2 cups chicken bone broth
1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
2 tbsp chili garlic sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Optional: Soft-boiled egg, sliced green onions, nori, toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced chicken thighs and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Stir in the soy sauce and chili garlic sauce and bring to a gentle simmer.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, simmering for 3 minutes until thickened and glossy.
Add the ramen noodles directly into the broth and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until soft.
Divide into bowls, add optional garnishes, and serve immediately.
Notes
If storing leftovers, keep noodles and broth in separate containers to prevent the noodles from becoming overly soggy. Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce to suit your heat preference.
