  • 1 tbsp oil, for cooking

🍜 For the ramen & sauce:

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced

  • 1 tbsp flour

  • 1 ½ cups milk or half-and-half

  • ½ cup chicken broth (or water with bouillon)

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

🌿 Optional toppings:

Instructions

1. Cook the chicken:

  • Season sliced chicken with soy sauce, garlic powder, salt & pepper.

  • In a large skillet, heat oil and cook chicken until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

2. Make the creamy garlic sauce:

  • In the same pan, melt butter, then sauté the garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

  • Stir in flour and cook for 30 seconds to form a roux.

  • Slowly whisk in milk and broth, stirring until smooth and thickened (about 4–5 minutes).

  • Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and Parmesan if using.

  • Taste and season with salt and pepper.

3. Cook ramen noodles:

  • While the sauce simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions.

  • Drain and add them straight into the garlic sauce.

4. Bring it all together:

 

  • Toss in the cooked chicken and stir everything together until coated in the creamy sauce.

  • Let simmer for 1–2 minutes to marry the flavors.

Notes

  • A halved soft-boiled egg

  • Chopped scallions

  • Drizzle of chili oil for heat

  • Extra garlic chips if you’re feelin’ fancy
