Step 1 – Sear the Chicken: Season the chicken lightly with salt. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 2 – Build the Spicy Base: In the same pan, add garlic and ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the chili paste and soy sauce.
Step 3 – Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 8–10 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Step 4 – Make It Creamy: Stir in the heavy cream and sesame oil. Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes until the broth becomes creamy and slightly thickened.
Step 5 – Cook the Noodles: Add the ramen noodles directly to the broth and cook according to package instructions, usually 2–3 minutes.
Step 6 – Serve: Slice the chicken and divide it between bowls. Ladle over the creamy spicy broth and noodles, garnish as desired, and serve hot.
