Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

4 cups chicken broth

2 packs of ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms

1 cup baby spinach

2 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: soft-boiled eggs, sesame seeds, and chili flakes

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Coat the chicken thighs in the marinade and let sit for at least 20 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for more flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and caramelized. Remove from the pan and let rest before slicing it into strips.

      Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes.

        Cook Ramen Noodles: Add ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions (usually about 3-4 minutes).

          Make Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

            Combine: Once the noodles are cooked, add baby spinach to the broth, allowing it to wilt. Divide the ramen and broth into bowls. Top with sliced chicken, and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional chili flakes if you like extra heat. Serve hot and enjoy your fiery, creamy chicken ramen!
