How to Make Fiery Chicken Ramen (Step-by-Step)

This is the fun part. We’ll break it down into four easy stages.

Step 1: Marinate the Fiery Chicken

First, get that spicy chicken ramen flavor base. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and stir to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for even more flavor).

Step 2: Cook the Chicken and Aromatics

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes, until browned and fully cooked.

Now, add the minced garlic and paprika. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant your kitchen will smell amazing.

Step 3: Build the Broth & Cook Noodles

Pour in the 4 cups of chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook them according to the package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes).

Step 4: Create the Creamy Garlic Sauce

This is the most important step. Reduce the heat to low. Slowly stir in the heavy cream. Let the ramen simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats every noodle.

Do not boil the ramen after adding the cream, as this can cause it to separate. A gentle simmer is all you need.

Step 5: Serve

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the hot ramen into bowls and garnish generously with sliced green onions. Serve immediately!

 Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dish vegetarian?

Absolutely! For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for firm tofu and use vegetable broth.

What can I use if I don’t have heavy cream?

For a lighter (though less rich) version, you can use half-and-half. For a dairy-free option, full-fat coconut cream is the best substitute.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce. Do not microwave, as it can make the noodles mushy.
