Incredible Ultimate Creamy Garlic Chicken Ramen Recipe

Print Recipe

This Creamy Garlic Chicken Ramen is a luscious, comforting bowl where tender chicken meets a velvety, garlic-infused cream sauce. It’s perfect for a cozy, satisfying meal that you won’t forget.

Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Instant ramen blocks (discard seasoning) or fresh ramen noodles
  • Fresh garlic, minced
  • Heavy cream
  • Low-sodium chicken broth
  • Low-sodium soy sauce
  • Mirin (or non-alcoholic mirin substitute)
  • Toasted sesame oil
  • Egg yolks (optional)
  • Fresh vegetables & garnishes (baby spinach, thinly sliced green onions, corn kernels, sautéed mushrooms, soft-boiled egg, thinly sliced beef)

Instructions

  1. Slice your chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and sear in a large skillet with a tablespoon of neutral oil over medium-high heat until beautifully browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken and set aside, leaving any delicious browned bits in the pan.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant; be careful not to burn it! Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and mirin (or non-alcohol alternative), scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 3-5 minutes to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  3. While the sauce simmers, cook your ramen noodles according to package directions in a separate pot of water. Drain thoroughly and set aside; do not overcook them, as they will continue to soften in the hot sauce.
  4. For an extra layer of creamy richness, whisk one or two egg yolks in a small bowl. Temper them by slowly ladling a small amount of hot sauce into the yolks while whisking constantly. Then, slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the simmering sauce, whisking continuously for another minute until thickened and emulsified. Do not boil vigorously once the egg yolk is added.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the creamy garlic sauce. Stir in desired vegetables like baby spinach until just wilted. Divide the drained ramen noodles among serving bowls, then ladle generous amounts of the creamy garlic chicken and sauce over them. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, and your preferred toppings like a soft-boiled egg or extra crispy garlic. Serve your incredible Creamy Garlic Chicken Ramen immediately!

Nutrition

Keywords: Watch the garlic carefully to avoid burning. If adding egg yolks, temper them slowly to ensure a smooth consistency. Use fresh ramen noodles for better texture, and customize the creaminess of the sauce to your preference.
