Instructions

Cook the Ramen:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes. Drain the noodles, then toss them with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to prevent them from sticking. Set aside.
Prepare the Fiery Chicken:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, chili flakes (if using), minced garlic, grated ginger, and honey. Once the chicken is cooked, pour this fiery sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and the chicken is well coated. Set aside.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Add the heavy cream, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and lime juice. Stir to combine. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more sriracha if desired.
Assemble the Dish:
In a large bowl, toss the cooked ramen noodles with the creamy garlic sauce, making sure the noodles are well coated.

Top the noodles with the fiery chicken, and garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, sesame seeds, and sliced red chili peppers. Add a squeeze of lime if you like a fresh kick.

Serve:
Serve hot and enjoy the perfect blend of heat, creaminess, and flavor!

Notes

If you want to reduce the heat, adjust the amount of sriracha sauce or chili flakes according to your preference.

For a richer flavor, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for the sauce.

You can add vegetables like sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the dish for extra nutrition and flavor.
