  • Fans of intense, fiery spice balanced with rich, satisfying savoriness

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • spicy chicken ramen 2 packs (including liquid seasoning)
  • whole garlic 4 cloves
  • chili powder 1 tablespoon
  • chili oil 3 tablespoons
  • peanut butter 1 tablespoon
  • convenience store chicken breast 1 pack
  • green chili peppers 2
  • sugar 0.5 tablespoon
  • noodle water 2 ladles

Recipe 🍳

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles from 2 packs of spicy chicken ramen for exactly 3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Do not discard the starchy noodle water—set it aside separately.
  2. Slice the 4 cloves of whole garlic thinly, and finely chop the 2 green chili peppers.
  3. In a wok or pan, add the cooked noodles, 1 ladle of noodle water, sliced garlic, and the liquid seasoning from 2 packs of spicy chicken ramen.
  4. Add the chili powder 1 tablespoon, chili oil 3 tablespoons, and peanut butter 1 tablespoon one at a time.
  5. Turn on the heat and stir-fry until the peanut butter fully melts and blends smoothly into the noodles and seasonings.
  6. Tear the convenience store chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add it along with the chopped green chili peppers and sugar 0.5 tablespoon.
  7. Gradually add the remaining 1 ladle of reserved noodle water while continuously stir-frying until the sauce is fully absorbed into the noodles and the dish is dry and well-coated.
  1. Cook spicy chicken ramen noodles for 3 minutes, drain, and reserve the noodle water.
  2. In a wok, combine noodles, 1 ladle of noodle water, sliced garlic, liquid seasoning, chili powder, chili oil, and peanut butter; stir-fry.
  3. Add chicken breast, chopped green chili peppers, sugar, and remaining noodle water; stir-fry until sauce is evenly distributed and fully absorbed.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Boil the noodles for only 3 minutes initially so they remain firm and chewy when stir-fried later—preventing them from becoming mushy.
  • Peanut butter softens the spiciness while adding a deep, rich, nutty flavor. For extra heat, add more green chili peppers at the end.
  • When cooking, if any seasoning sticks to the edges of the pan, add a splash of noodle water to loosen it and mix it back into the noodles for a clean, even coating.
