Instructions to Prepare Cheesy Ramen
-
Prepare the Asian Zing Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Set this flavorful sauce aside.
-
Marinate the Chicken:
- Take half of your Asian Zing sauce and marinate the chicken thighs in it for at least 15 minutes (or longer for extra flavor).
-
Sear the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a hot skillet, sear the marinated chicken thighs on both sides until they are golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
Create the Cheesy Sauce:
- In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of sesame oil. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Incorporate the red peppers and tomato paste, followed by a slow pour of the heavy cream and the remaining Asian Zing sauce. Mix in the cheese and let everything simmer until well-combined.
-
Combine and Serve:
- Toss in the cooked ramen noodles and stir to coat them in the cheesy sauce. Serve the ramen in bowls, topped with sliced chicken thighs, and garnish with extra cheese, scallions, and sesame seeds.
Enjoy your delicious bowl of Cheesy Ramen, a comforting dish that will warm your heart and satisfy your cravings!
