Ingredients
  

For the Fiery Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red chili paste)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon honey

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Ramen:

4 cups chicken broth

2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

2 green onions, sliced

1 cup baby bok choy, chopped

2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)

Sesame seeds, for garnish

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sour cream

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for more heat)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they're well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).

    Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, sriracha, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and nicely caramelized. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

        Cook the Ramen: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. In the final minute of cooking, add the chopped bok choy to wilt.

          Assemble the Ramen Bowls: Divide the ramen and bok choy into serving bowls. Top each bowl with slices of the fiery chicken, a soft-boiled egg (if using), and a drizzle of the creamy garlic sauce.

            Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy the fusion of spicy, creamy, and savory flavors.
