Creating your own Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce is easy if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Cook Ramen Noodles: Begin by boiling a pot of water and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and slice into bite-sized pieces.
3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
4. Add Chili Paste: Stir in the chili paste, cooking it for another minute to infuse the oil.
5. Create Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
6. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables and cook until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
7. Stir in Cream: Slowly incorporate the heavy cream into the pot, stirring well to combine. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
8. Combine Chicken and Noodles: Add the sliced chicken back into the pot along with the cooked ramen noodles. Gently mix until the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
9. Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle with sesame oil and stir to enhance the flavor.
10. Serve: Ladle the ramen into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
With these steps, you’ll have a mouthwatering bowl of ramen ready to delight your taste buds!
