Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 pound chicken thighs, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (such as gochujang or sambal)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Broth and Noodles
- 4 packs ramen noodles (seasoning discarded)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Toppings
- Sliced green onions, for topping
- Sesame seeds, for topping
- Boiled eggs, halved (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Combine the sliced chicken thighs with soy sauce, chili paste, and garlic powder in a bowl. Mix well to coat and let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the marinated chicken until it is browned and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Broth: In a soup pot, bring the chicken broth and minced garlic to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk until fully incorporated, creating a creamy and aromatic broth base.
- Cook Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package directions until the noodles are tender but not overcooked.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the pot with the noodles, mixing gently to combine. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and optional halved boiled eggs. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can adjust the spiciness by varying the amount or type of chili paste used.
- Substitute coconut milk for heavy cream to make it dairy-free and add a subtle coconut flavor.
- Boiled eggs add extra protein and texture but are optional.
- Discard ramen seasoning packets to keep the sodium levels lower and allow control over seasoning.
- Use fresh garlic for a more intense aromatic quality compared to garlic powder alone.
