# Instructions:
01 -
Mince 6 cloves garlic, grate 1-inch fresh ginger, and thinly slice 4 green onions. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower 4 large eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled. Immediately transfer to an ice bath, then peel and halve.
02 -
Pat dry 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove, slice, and set aside for your Fiery Chicken Ramen with Spicy Garlic Broth.
03 -
In the same pot, reduce heat to medium. Add the minced 6 cloves garlic, grated 1-inch fresh ginger, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
04 -
Pour in 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, 2 tbsp gochujang, and 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it cook for 10 minutes. This forms the heart of your Fiery Chicken Ramen with Spicy Garlic Broth. Stir in 1 tbsp sesame oil.
05 -
While the broth simmers, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add 12 oz fresh ramen noodles and cook according to package directions, usually 2-3 minutes, until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
06 -
Divide the cooked noodles among 4 serving bowls. Ladle the hot Fiery Chicken Ramen with Spicy Garlic Broth over the noodles. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, halved eggs, strips of 4 sheets nori, sliced 4 green onions, and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately for the best Fiery Chicken Ramen with Spicy Garlic Broth experience.
# Notes:
01 -
Broth Customization: Adjust the gochujang and chili garlic sauce to your preferred spice level. For extra heat, add a dash of sriracha or a few more red pepper flakes.
02 -
Perfect Eggs: For jammy yolks, cook eggs for exactly 6 minutes and 30 seconds before transferring to an ice bath. This creates the ideal ramen egg texture.
03 -
Storage Tip: Store leftover broth and cooked chicken separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat broth gently and add freshly cooked noodles and garnishes.
04 -
Noodle Choice: While fresh ramen noodles are recommended for their texture, dried instant ramen noodles (without their seasoning packets) can be used in a pinch. Cook according to package directions.
