Spicy Ramen Chicken Noodles Recipe
Ingredients:
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 2 cups water
– 2 packs (about 7 oz each) instant ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)
– 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce or sriracha (adjust to taste)
– 2 teaspoons sesame oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
– 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms (or any mushrooms of your choice)
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced (separate white and green parts)
– 2 large eggs, boiled and halved (optional)
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, cilantro leaves, lime wedges, sesame seeds
#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare Chicken:**
1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
4. Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice or shred it. Set aside.
2. **Prepare Broth:**
1. In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat.
2. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the sliced green onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
3. Pour in chicken broth and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.
3. **Add Noodles and Flavorings:**
1. Once the broth is boiling, add the sliced mushrooms, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce or sriracha. Stir well to combine.
2. Add the instant ramen noodles to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions, usually for about 3-4 minutes, until the noodles are tender but still slightly chewy.
4. **Assemble:**
1. Divide the cooked noodles and broth among serving bowls.
2. Top each bowl with sliced or shredded chicken, halved boiled eggs (if using), and the green parts of the sliced green onions.
3. Garnish with sliced jalapeños, cilantro leaves, lime wedges, and sesame seeds if desired.
