Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (or more to taste)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped
Noodles
- 2 packs ramen noodles
Instructions
- Cook the Ramen: Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside to prevent overcooking while preparing the sauce.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Make the Sauce: To the skillet with the chicken, add minced garlic, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Stir well and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the garlic to become fragrant.
- Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes creamy.
- Toss the Noodles: Add the drained ramen noodles into the skillet with the creamy sauce and chicken. Toss gently but thoroughly so the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh and flavorful finish. Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the spicy, creamy flavors.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to increase or decrease the spice level according to your preference.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with evaporated milk or coconut milk, though the sauce may be less rich.
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor, but ground ginger can be used if fresh is unavailable.
- To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and ramen noodles.
- Leftover ramen can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
