Instructions
Creating Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce is a delightful experience when you follow these easy steps:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Season the sliced chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
3. Sauté Garlic and Ginger: In the same pot, add more oil if necessary and sauté the minced garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add Spices: Stir in the chili paste and cook for another minute to release the flavors.
5. Create the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and miso paste. Bring it to a simmer.
6. Cook the Noodles: Once simmering, add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes.
7. Add Vegetables: Stir in the spinach or bok choy and julienned carrots during the last minute of cooking.
8. Incorporate Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the pot and mix well.
9. Add Cream: Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream for that creamy texture.
10. Season to Taste: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
11. Serve: Ladle the ramen into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds if desired.
With these steps, you’ll have a bowl of comforting and flavorful ramen ready to be enjoyed!
