Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, diced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Noodles and Accompaniments:
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen vegetables
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Marinate chicken by blending soy sauce, chili sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a mixing container. Thoroughly coat diced chicken and rest for 10-15 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
- Preheat skillet to medium-high temperature. Sear marinated chicken pieces for 6-7 minutes, ensuring golden exterior and complete internal cooking. Transfer protein to a holding plate.
- Create garlic sauce by gently melting butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until aromatic, approximately 45-60 seconds. Remove from heat and allow slight cooling.
- Whisk mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a separate mixing bowl. Incorporate cooked garlic into sauce, blending until smooth and consistent.
- Boil chicken broth in a medium pot. Submerge ramen noodles and cook according to package directions, typically 3-4 minutes. Add frozen vegetables during final 2 minutes of cooking process.
- Assemble dish by distributing noodles and broth evenly between serving bowls. Layer cooked chicken on top, generously drizzle creamy garlic sauce, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor absorption and tenderness.
- Use high-heat cooking method like stir-frying to get a crispy exterior on the chicken while keeping the inside juicy.
- Customize the spice level by adjusting sriracha and chili sauce quantities to match personal heat tolerance.
- Swap protein options easily by replacing chicken with tofu, shrimp, or plant-based alternatives for dietary flexibility.
