2 packets ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, minced

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup bok choy, chopped

1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced

1/4 cup scallions, sliced (for garnish)

2 soft-boiled eggs, halved (for garnish)

Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste)

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    In a small bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Add chicken thighs and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

      Prepare the Garlic Sauce:

        In another bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, sriracha, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

          Cook the Chicken:

            Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add marinated chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and let rest, then slice thinly.

              Make the Broth:

                In a large pot, heat a little additional oil and sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

                  Cook the Ramen:

                    Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. Add bok choy and shiitake mushrooms in the final minute of cooking.

                      Assemble the Ramen:

                        Divide cooked ramen and broth among serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken, soft-boiled eggs, and scallions. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce on top.

                          Serve:

                            Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy the spicy kick from the chicken balanced by the creamy garlic sauce!
