Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
- 8 ounces ramen noodles
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 2 cups bok choy, chopped
- Soy sauce, to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine 4 cups of chicken broth with 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger.
- Bring it to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.
- Add 1 pound of boneless chicken thighs directly into the simmering broth.
- Let them cook through for about 15–20 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove them from the pot and let them rest before slicing.
- While the chicken is resting, bring another pot of water to boil.
- Cook 8 ounces of ramen noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
- Drain and set aside.
- Return to your broth pot and add sliced carrots (1 cup) and chopped bok choy (2 cups).
- Allow them to cook until tender but still vibrant—about 5 minutes should do it!
Notes
Storage: Allow the Fiery Garlic Chicken Ramen to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the broth and chicken separately from the noodles to maintain texture, which can be kept for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To reheat, gently warm the broth on the stovetop over low heat until hot, then add the cooked ramen noodles and any additional vegetables. Stir until everything is heated through. If frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serving: Serve the ramen hot in bowls, garnished with sliced green onions, a drizzle of Sriracha sauce for extra heat, and perhaps a sprinkle of sesame seeds. For a complete meal, pair it with a side of steamed dumplings or a fresh salad.
Chef’s Tip: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in soy sauce and minced garlic before cooking. Additionally, feel free to customize your ramen with other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms, or add a soft-boiled egg for a traditional touch!
