Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

4 cups chicken broth

2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

1 cup baby spinach

1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced

2 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

½ cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Red pepper flakes (for garnish, optional)

Soft-boiled eggs, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and caramelized. Remove from heat, let it rest, then slice into strips.

      Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

        Cook the Noodles: Once the broth is simmering, add the instant ramen noodles along with sliced shiitake mushrooms. Cook according to noodle package instructions (usually about 3-4 minutes).

          Add Greens: Stir in the baby spinach until wilted and tender. If you wish for a thicker broth, dissolve cornstarch in a little cold water and add it to the broth now.

            Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

              Assembly: Divide the cooked ramen and broth among serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken, drizzle with creamy garlic sauce, and garnish with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes as desired.

                Serve: Optionally, add a soft-boiled egg to each bowl for extra richness. Enjoy your Fiery Chicken Ramen hot!
