Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 chicken breasts
50g all-purpose flour
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
½ tablespoon smoked paprika
½ tablespoon oregano
½ tablespoon chilli flakes
600ml chicken stock
300ml single cream
2 tablespoons grated parmesan, plus extra for garnish
½ teaspoon ground pepper
½ teaspoon flaky salt
½ teaspoon sugar
200g ramen noodles
For the toppings:
- Coriander
- Beansprouts
- Edamame beans
- Spring onion
- Chilli oil

Instructions

Step 1: Pour the all-purpose flour onto a plate. Coat the chicken breasts evenly in the flour.
Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: In the same saucepan, add minced garlic, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, and oregano. Fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in 300ml chicken stock and single cream, stirring to combine. Grate in 2 tablespoons of parmesan and mix well.
Step 5: Return the chicken breasts to the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes to soak up the flavors. Remove the chicken again and set aside to slice.
Step 6: Season the broth with flaky salt, ground pepper, and ½ teaspoon sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add the remaining 300ml chicken stock.
Step 7: Add the ramen noodles to the broth and cook according to the packet instructions, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 8: Once the noodles are cooked, divide the broth and noodles between two bowls. Top with sliced chicken, coriander, beansprouts, spring onions, edamame beans, and a drizzle of chilli oil. Garnish with extra grated parmesan if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra richness, swap single cream for double cream or add a splash of coconut milk.
Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier meat.
Add a soft-boiled egg on top for a classic ramen touch.
Adjust chili flakes and chilli oil to your heat preference to control the spice level.

Storage

Store leftover ramen broth and chicken separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Ramen noodles are best cooked fresh but can be stored separately for a day. Reheat the broth gently on the stove and add freshly cooked noodles when ready to serve to maintain texture.

How to Serve

A white bowl filled with creamy orange broth forms the base of the dish. At the center are thin, light brown noodles topped with small bits of dark red chili flakes and black sesame seeds. On the left side, slices of light beige chicken rest over the broth, dotted with black sesame seeds and chili. Bright green chopped scallions sit below the noodles, while vibrant green edamame beans are placed below the chili-topped noodles on the right. To the right of the edamame, a small pile of white bean sprouts lies partially submerged. Fresh green cilantro leaves fill the top-right corner, adding texture and freshness to the bowl. Dark brown wooden chopsticks rest on the edge of the bowl. The whole scene is set on a white marbled surface photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
