A couple of weeks ago, I asked you on Instagram to create the best New Years’ Eve recipe. We voted between Vegetarian and Chicken, Spicy or Non-spicy, Noodles or Rice, and Easy or Complicated. Once I saw the results, I immediately knew that we needed to make the BEST bowl of Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup.
The spicy broth is so simple and takes less than 10 minutes to make. With just a few simple ingredients, the broth tastes better than any instant noodle ramen out there. If you wanted to make it creamy, you could substitute the chicken stock with ½ non-sweeten soy milk instead. I am using EXTRA CRISPY fried chicken today as the protein, but you can also add ramen egg, corn, butter, bean sprouts, and seaweed.
As usual, chicken thigh with the skin on is a MUST for fried chicken. It keeps the meat extra juicy and adds so much flavor to the chicken. Potato Flour is second the secret tip of light and crispy fried chicken, while the marinade makes the chicken extra juicy and tender. If you can’t find Potato Flour, you can substitute for Corn Starch, and if you can’t use alcohol, you can substitute for 1 tbsp of sugar,1tsp of salt, and 2 tbsp of Chicken Stock.
