Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the chicken evenly and marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked.
Remove from heat, rest 5 minutes, then slice.
2. Make the Spicy Broth
Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Stir in chicken broth, soy sauce, chili paste, miso paste, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes to deepen flavor.
3. Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Stir in heavy cream, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Simmer gently for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
4. Cook the Ramen Noodles
Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions.
Drain and set aside.
5. Assemble the Ramen Bowls
Divide noodles among 4 bowls.
Ladle spicy broth over noodles.
Top with sliced chicken.
Drizzle creamy garlic sauce over each bowl.
Garnish with soft-boiled eggs, green onions, sesame seeds, and chili oil if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Adjust chili paste and red pepper flakes to control spice level.
For deeper flavor, simmer broth up to 20 minutes.
Store noodles and broth separately to prevent sogginess.
Fresh ramen noodles can replace instant noodles for a more authentic texture.
Add mushrooms, bok choy, or corn for extra texture and flavor.
