Equipment
- Saucepan
- Lid
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts
- 50 g all purpose flour
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes sliced
- ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ tablespoon oregano
- ½ tablespoon chilli flakes
- 600 ml chicken stock
- 300 ml single cream
- 2 tablespoon grated parmesan plus extra for garnish
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon flaky salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 200 g ramen noodles
For the toppings:
- Coriander
- Beansprouts
- Edamame beans
- Spring onion
- Chilli oil
Instructions
Prep the Chicken and Build the Base
- Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly in the all-purpose flour on all sides. This helps with browning and adds body to the final broth.
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4 minutes per side until the exterior is deeply golden, then remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, and oregano. Sauté for a couple of minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Create the Creamy Broth
- Stir in 300ml of chicken stock and the single cream. Add the grated parmesan and whisk until the cheese melts and the broth is smooth.
- Return the chicken to the pan, cover with a lid, and simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to a board and slice it into strips.
- Season the broth base with ground pepper, flaky salt, and sugar, adjusting to taste.
Cook the Noodles and Finish the Bowls
- Add the remaining 300ml of chicken stock and the ramen noodles to the saucepan. Cook according to the packet instructions, stirring to prevent clumping.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the white miso paste and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for depth and acidity.
- Divide the noodles and broth into bowls. Garnish with the sliced chicken, coriander, beansprouts, spring onion, edamame beans, and a drizzle of chilli oil.
Notes
Flavor Secret: For a more intense tomato flavor, use a tablespoon of the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar in place of regular olive oil when searing the chicken.
Miso Tip: Always stir in your miso paste after removing the pan from the heat to preserve its delicate umami flavor and prevent it from becoming overly salty.
Soggy Noodle Prevention: If you expect leftovers, store the ramen noodles and the creamy broth in separate containers. This prevents the noodles from absorbing all the liquid and becoming mushy.
