Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 200 g ramen noodles
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons chili oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 cup garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions green onions sliced
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Large Pot
  • Frying pan
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then cook the ramen noodles until just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Thinly slice the chicken breasts and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat, add a splash of sesame oil, and cook the chicken slices until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add soy sauce and garlic sauce to the broth, stirring to combine and deepen the flavor. Let the broth simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. Stir in a tablespoon of chili oil to add heat and a glossy finish to the broth. Adjust the spiciness by adding more chili oil if desired.
  7. Add the cooked chicken slices back into the broth, letting them soak up the flavors for a couple of minutes.
  8. Scoop the cooked ramen noodles into deep bowls, then ladle the hot broth with chicken over the noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions.
  9. Finish with a drizzle of chili oil and a sprinkle of additional green onions for color and extra heat.

Notes

For an extra smoky flavor, lightly char the chicken before slicing. You can also add soft-boiled eggs or vegetables like bok choy for added variety.
