1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)

1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup water

2 green onions, chopped

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or button)

1 carrot, julienned

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

1 cup heavy cream

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Ramen Noodles: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

      Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the gochujang, Sriracha, soy sauce, and mix well. Pour in the chicken broth and water. Bring to a gentle simmer.

        Add Vegetables: Add the mushrooms, carrot, and chopped green onions to the broth. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

          Cook the Eggs: While the soup simmers, bring a small pot of water to boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Remove, cool in cold water, peel, and set aside.

            Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Add heavy cream, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Combine and Serve: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the broth, stirring gently to combine. Divide the ramen among bowls, top with creamy garlic sauce, and add a soft-boiled egg, sliced in half.

                Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish each bowl with chopped parsley and additional green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy a bowl of fiery, creamy goodness!
