If you were anything like me as a kid, teenager or college student, you could have probably lived off ramen with no problem. I had a very specific process when I made my ramen. I would crush the noodles up while they were still in the packaging, boil the noodles, drain them completely, add the crazy high in sodium seasoning packet and exactly 2 cubes of ice so that I could dig in immediately without 3rd degree burns. A few things may have changed over the years as far as my pallet goes, but I will never be one to turn down some flavorful noodles! This Easy Spicy Chicken Ramen is flavorful, has a little heat and is loaded with fresh and delicious ingredients. The best news is that is only takes about 15 minutes to prepare!
Here are some tips for making my Easy Spicy Chicken Ramen:
- You can use whatever type of ramen you like for this recipe. I got a box of it sans seasoning from Whole Foods, but the packaged stuff that everyone is used to from any grocery store will work just as well. Just be sure to discard any seasonings that come with it and use only the noodles.
- Use more or less sriracha to make this dish as spicy or mild as you like. I probably use about 4-5 tablespoons of the hot sauce in mine, but if you are super sensitive to spice, you can just leave it out all together.
- This is a very versatile recipe in that you can add in any of your favorite vegetables or swap out the chicken for whatever protein you would like to use that day. Sometimes I like to use flank steak or shrimp instead and broccoli, mushrooms, peppers or many other vegetables would be great in this.
These are the ingredients you will need for this 15 minute meal:
- Ramen
- Sesame oil
- Chicken
- Onion
- Garlic
- Ginger
