Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 packs Wavy Ramen Noodles Approx. 180g
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast 450g, sliced into lean strips
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream 240ml
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth 240ml
  • 6 cloves Garlic 30g, minced
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil 15ml
  • 3 stalks Green Onions Finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Red Chili Flakes Adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds 9g

Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet or Grill Pan For achieving golden-brown sear marks.
  • 1 Deep Saucepan For building the garlic cream sauce.

Method
 

Searing and Sauce Assembly
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden-brown with visible grill marks. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and sauté minced garlic bits for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Whisk in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  4. Add al dente wavy ramen noodles to the sauce. Toss for 2 minutes until the sauce is thick, heavy, and glossy.
  5. Transfer to a bowl. Top with the seared chicken slices, chopped green onions, chili flakes, and sesame seeds.

Notes

Use room temperature cream to prevent the sauce from breaking.
Don't rinse the noodles; the starch helps the garlic cream stick.
