Calories: 776kcal
Ingredients
- 2 packages Maruchan Gold Soy Sauce Flavor Ramen
- 8 ounces skin-on chicken thighs (deboned and cut into large pieces)
- 3 tablespoons potato starch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 small shallot (finely minced)
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon gochujang (optional)
- 1 scallion (chopped)
Instructions
- Bring 6 cups of water to a boil for the noodles. Quickly coat the chicken using 1 of the sauce packets. Then immediately dredge the chicken pieces in potato starch on both sides.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil, and pan-fry the chicken until crispy on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan, and set aside.
- To the pan you cooked the chicken in (over medium heat), add the shallot and garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the shallots begin to turn translucent. Add the second sauce packet, mirin, sesame seeds, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and gochujang, if using. Simmer for about 3 minutes, until thickened.
- Meanwhile, add the noodles to boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and add the noodles to the pan of sauce along with the scallion. Toss to coat, and divide into 2 bowls. Top with the chicken, and serve.
