Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the ramen
  • 2 servings ramen noodles
  • 2 pieces boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons chili paste adjust to taste
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 pieces green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather your ingredients. Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, mince garlic finely, slice green onions, and rinse spinach leaves.
Cooking
  1. In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (but don’t let it brown).
  2. Increase the heat, add chicken pieces, and season with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally, browning all sides for about 4-5 minutes until golden and juicy.
  3. Lower the heat to medium. Stir in chili paste to taste, then add the heavy cream slowly, stirring to create a smooth sauce. Let it simmer briefly.
  4. Cook ramen noodles as per package instructions until they’re tender but chewy. Drain and set aside.
  5. Toss spinach into the pan with the sauce, stirring until wilted. Add in ramen noodles, coating them well.
  6. Top with sliced green onions before serving. Optionally garnish with more chili paste for an extra kick and enjoy!

Notes

Don’t skip toasting the garlic—it makes all the difference! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze and reheat with a dash of water for creamy consistency.
