Step-by-Step Instructions 🥢
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey. Add chicken pieces and let marinate for at least 30 minutes. This builds deep flavor before cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes until golden and caramelized. The smell will fill your kitchen with magic!
Step 3: Add Garlic & Paprika
Toss in minced garlic and paprika. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant—this infuses the broth with bold, smoky richness.
Step 4: Build the Broth
Pour in chicken broth, bring to a gentle boil, and add ramen noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender and absorb that spicy broth.
Step 5: Make It Creamy
Lower the heat, stir in heavy cream, and let simmer for 5 minutes. The broth becomes luxuriously creamy with a spicy kick. 🌶️
Step 6: Garnish & Serve
Ladle into bowls, top with sliced green onions, and serve piping hot. Perfect with a side of crispy spring rolls or steamed dumplings.
