Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Coating

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 50g all purpose flour

Sauce and Broth

  • 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
  • 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

Main Ingredients

  • 200g ramen noodles

Toppings and Garnish

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

Instructions

  1. Coat and Fry Chicken: Pour the all purpose flour onto a plate and coat both chicken breasts evenly in the flour. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and fry each side for about 4 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside.
  2. Prepare 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 to release the aromas and flavors.
  3. Add Liquids and Parmesan: Pour in 300ml of chicken stock and 300ml of single cream, stirring everything together. Grate in 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese and mix well.
  4. Simmer Chicken in Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes to let the chicken absorb the flavors. Then remove the chicken breasts again and set aside to slice later.
  5. Season and Cook Noodles: Season the broth with flaky salt, ground pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add the remaining 300ml chicken stock, then add ramen noodles and cook according to the packet instructions, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve: Once the ramen noodles are cooked, ladle the broth and noodles into two serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken breasts, fresh coriander, beansprouts, edamame beans, sliced spring onion, and a drizzle of chilli oil. Garnish with additional grated parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken is cooked through before serving by checking its internal temperature or slicing to check no pink remains.
  • If you prefer a spicier broth, increase the amount of chilli flakes or add some fresh sliced chili to the sauce.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for best flavor and smoother melting in the sauce.
  • You can substitute ramen noodles with other types of noodles if preferred, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • To make the dish easier to prepare, have all your ingredients prepped and ready before cooking as the process moves quickly.
