Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce:
1. Cook the Noodles: Begin by boiling your ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic and Ginger: Sprinkle in the minced garlic and ginger, stirring continuously for about 1 minute to release their aromatic flavors.
4. Incorporate Spices: Add the red pepper flakes to the pot, allowing them to meld with the chicken mixture for an additional 30 seconds.
5. Pour in Broth: Slowly add the chicken broth and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Add Heat: If you crave more spiciness, incorporate the sriracha at this stage. Adjust according to your heat preference.
7. Stir in Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring until well blended. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
8. Thicken with Cornstarch: Add the cornstarch mixture to the pot, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens further, about 2 minutes.
9. Combine Noodles: Add the cooked ramen noodles into the pot. Toss to ensure the noodles are well coated in the creamy garlic sauce.
10. Season and Garnish: Taste the ramen and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
