Ingredients

Scale

Spicy Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Ramen Bowl

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ cup sliced green onions
  • ½ cup shredded carrots (optional, for crunch)
  • 1 soft-boiled egg, halved (for topping)
  • Sesame seeds & nori strips, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate & Cook the Spicy Chicken: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken strips for 5-6 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Set aside.
  2. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes). Drain well, toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
  4. Assemble the Ramen Bowls: Divide the cooked ramen noodles into serving bowls. Spoon the creamy garlic sauce generously over the noodles. Top with the fiery chicken, sliced green onions, shredded carrots, and a halved soft-boiled egg. Garnish with sesame seeds and nori strips. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the heat level of the chicken.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though the sauce will be less rich.
  • Soft-boiled eggs can be replaced with a poached egg for a different texture.
  • Add more vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition and texture.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
