Ingredients

- Ramen Noodles
- Heavy Cream
- Fresh Spinach
- Mushrooms
- Chicken Broth
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Soy Sauce
- Sesame Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear them until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove them from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add a bit more sesame oil if needed, then toss in minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn them.
- Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to lift any delicious brown bits. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Add the ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually around 4-5 minutes. If you’re using fresh noodles, they may take less time.
- Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream. Mix well until everything is combined and heated through.
- Add the spinach and mushrooms to the pot, letting them wilt and soften in the creamy broth for a couple of minutes.
- Slice the seared chicken thighs and return them to the pot. Stir to combine everything, letting it warm through for another minute.
- Ladle the ramen into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of chili oil for an extra kick.
