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

1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp flaky salt
1/2 tsp sugar
200g ramen noodles
Coriander

Instructions

Step 1: Pour the all purpose flour onto a plate. Coat the chicken breasts in the flour. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and fry the chicken breasts for 4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 2: In the same saucepan, add minced garlic, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, and oregano. Fry for 2 minutes to release the flavors.
Step 3: Pour in 300ml chicken stock and single cream, stirring to combine. Grate in 2 tbsp parmesan and mix well.
Step 4: Return the chicken breasts to the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the chicken again and slice it.
Step 5: Season the broth with flaky salt, ground pepper, and 1/2 tsp sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add the remaining 300ml chicken stock.
Step 6: Add ramen noodles to the broth and cook following the package instructions, stirring frequently.
Step 7: Divide the noodles and broth between bowls. Top with sliced chicken, coriander, beansprouts, edamame beans, spring onion, and a drizzle of chilli oil. Garnish with extra parmesan if desired.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock or add a splash of soy sauce to the broth.
Swap chicken breasts for thighs if you prefer juicier meat.
Add soft boiled eggs for extra protein and texture.
Adjust chilli flakes and chilli oil according to your spice preference.
Use gluten-free flour and noodles to make this suitable for gluten-sensitive diets.

Storage

Store any leftover broth and chicken separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep noodles separate if possible to avoid sogginess. Reheat the broth gently on the stove until hot, then add noodles and chicken to warm through before serving.

FAQs

Can I use other types of noodles instead of ramen?

Yes, you can substitute ramen noodles with udon, soba, or even rice noodles depending on your preference.

Is this recipe freezer-friendly?

It’s best to freeze the broth and cooked chicken separately without the noodles. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating and add freshly cooked noodles when serving.
