Fiery Chicken Ramen is a spicy and flavorful noodle dish featuring tender chicken, fresh spinach, and a rich broth, perfect for those who crave a bit of heat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and sriracha. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the ramen noodles to the boiling broth and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked chicken and baby spinach, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
- Serve the ramen hot, topped with sliced green onions, soft-boiled eggs, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For added heat, increase the amount of sriracha or add sliced fresh chili peppers.
- Substitute the chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option, and sauté it until golden brown before adding to the broth.
