Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

4 cups chicken broth

2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced

2 green onions, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon grated ginger

½ cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Sriracha and chili flakes for garnish

Soft-boiled eggs (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and caramelized. Remove and let rest before slicing.

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

        Add Noodles and Mushrooms: Once the broth is simmering, add the ramen noodles and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Cook until the noodles are tender, following the package instructions (about 3-4 minutes).

          Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add remaining minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream, stir and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

            Assemble the Ramen: Divide the cooked noodles and mushrooms among serving bowls. Pour the hot broth over the noodles. Top with sliced chicken, garnish with green onions, and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.

              Serve with Toppings: Optionally, add a soft-boiled egg to each bowl. Drizzle with Sriracha and sprinkle chili flakes over the top for an extra kick.
