Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into strips)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken strips with soy sauce, sriracha, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it marinate briefly while preparing the pan.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the chicken is browned on the outside and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add sesame oil. Then add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant and aromatic.
  4. Make the Sauce: Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, cream cheese, and chili garlic sauce. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened. If the sauce needs more thickness, add the cornstarch slurry and stir continuously until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
  5. Prepare the Noodles: Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain thoroughly to remove excess water.
  6. Toss Noodles in Sauce: Add the cooked and drained noodles to the skillet with the creamy garlic sauce. Toss well to ensure noodles are fully coated in the sauce.
  7. Reintroduce Chicken: Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet and mix everything together so the chicken is evenly distributed throughout the noodles and sauce.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top of the ramen before serving hot.

Notes

  • Use ramen noodles with or without seasoning packets—discard seasoning packets to avoid extra sodium and flavors that won’t complement the dish.
  • For a tangier flavor, substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
  • For a dairy-free variation, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and cream cheese.
  • Add steamed broccoli or sautéed mushrooms to boost the vegetable content and texture.
