– 1 teaspoon chili paste (adjust to taste)
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream

– 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)

You are just a few simple steps away from enjoying your Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce:
1. Cook the Noodles: Begin by boiling water in a pot. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Stir in chili paste, chicken broth, heavy cream, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a soft simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the chicken back into the skillet, stirring to coat it evenly with the creamy sauce. Let the flavors meld together for about 5 minutes over low heat.
5. Serve with Noodles: Divide the cooked ramen noodles into serving bowls and ladle the chicken and creamy sauce over them. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and optional fresh herbs like cilantro or basil.
By following these steps, you’ll make a delicious and memorable Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce in no time at all.
