Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

4 cups chicken broth

2 packs of ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)

2 cups spinach leaves

1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced

3 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon ginger, minced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon miso paste

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes.

    Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the marinated chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked and caramelized. Remove from heat and let rest, then slice into strips.

      Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.

        add Veggies: Add the shiitake mushrooms, spinach, and miso paste to the broth, stirring to dissolve the miso. Let simmer for about 5 minutes.

          Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine heavy cream, rice vinegar, and chili flakes. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

            Cook Ramen Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes.

              Assemble the Bowl: Divide the noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the broth and veggies over the noodles, and top with sliced chicken. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the top.

                Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and fresh cilantro on top for extra flavor.

                  Serve Hot: Enjoy your Fiery Chicken Ramen immediately while it's hot and steamy.
