Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 50g all purpose flour
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 8 sun-dried tomatoes (sliced)
  • 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp oregano
  • 1/2 tbsp chilli flakes
  • 600ml chicken stock (divided into two 300ml portions)
  • 300ml single cream
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp flaky salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 200g ramen noodles

Toppings

  • Coriander (fresh)
  • Beansprouts
  • Edamame beans
  • Spring onion (sliced)
  • Chilli oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Pour the all purpose flour onto a plate. Coat the chicken breasts in the flour evenly. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and fry for about 4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. Make the sauce base: In the same saucepan, add the minced garlic, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, and oregano. Fry the mixture for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Then pour in 300ml chicken stock and the single cream, stirring well to combine. Grate in the 2 tbsp parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly.
  3. Cook chicken in sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the saucepan with the sauce. Cover with a lid and cook on low-medium heat for 5 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors. After cooking, remove the chicken breasts again and set aside to slice later.
  4. Season broth and cook noodles: Season the broth in the saucepan with flaky salt, ground pepper, and 1/2 tsp sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add the remaining 300ml chicken stock. Add the ramen noodles to the saucepan and cook according to the packet instructions, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Assemble the dish: Once the ramen noodles are cooked, ladle the broth and noodles evenly into two bowls. Slice the rested chicken breasts and place on top of the noodles. Garnish with fresh coriander, beansprouts, edamame beans, sliced spring onions, and a drizzle of chilli oil. Optionally, sprinkle extra parmesan over the top before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, increase the amount of chilli flakes or chilli oil to taste.
  • You can substitute single cream with half-and-half or coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative.
  • Ensure to stir the noodles frequently to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Using fresh herbs and toppings enhances the texture and freshness of the ramen.
  • Chicken breasts can be replaced with chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.
