Instructions
Marinate & Cook the Spicy Chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Set aside.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth while stirring constantly. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, then simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Remove from heat.
Cook the Ramen Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with sesame oil. Set aside.
Assemble the Ramen Bowls: Divide ramen noodles into serving bowls. Spoon creamy garlic sauce over the noodles. Top with fiery chicken, green onions, shredded carrots, and halved soft-boiled egg. Garnish with sesame seeds and nori strips. Serve immediately.
Notes
Adjust cayenne pepper according to your preferred spice level.
For a lighter sauce, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
Soft-boil eggs by boiling for 6-7 minutes, then cool in ice water before peeling and halving.
Shredded carrots add crunch but can be omitted if preferred.
Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and ramen noodles.
