Method
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Add sliced chicken, toss to coat, and marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken in a single layer and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through (165 degrees F internal temperature). Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles for 2 to 3 minutes according to package instructions. Drain and toss immediately with sesame oil.
- Divide noodles into two deep bowls. Spoon creamy garlic sauce over noodles. Top with fiery chicken, green onions, shredded carrots, and a halved soft-boiled egg. Garnish with sesame seeds and nori strips. Serve immediately.
Notes
Store chicken and sauce separately from noodles in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat sauce over low heat with a splash of broth to loosen. Freeze chicken and sauce separately for up to 2 months. Adjust cayenne and chili powder to control heat level.
