For the Curry Sauce

  • ¼ tsp Cumin

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken

  • In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, olive oil, black pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Slice the chicken breast into thin strips or bite-sized pieces and add it to the marinade. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Cover and let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor.

Cook the Chicken

  • Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil.
  • Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes per side on high heat to add color to the chicken ( chicken will finish cooking in curry).

Make the Curry Sauce

  • In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Add the diced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
  • Add the fresh ginger and minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle in the garam masala, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and ground coriander, stirring to coat the onions and garlic in the spices.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and tomato puree, cooking for 2 minutes to deepen the flavors.

Puree the Tomato Mixture

  • Using an immersion blender, or transferring the mixture to a regular blender, puree the tomato, onion, and spice mixture until smooth. (Be careful if using a regular blender, as the mixture will be hot.)
  • Return the puree to the pan.

Prepare the Ramen Broth

  • Pour the Ramen Z Tonkotsu Broth into the pan with the pureed tomato mixture, stirring to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Once simmering, add the cream and butter, stirring to create a rich and smooth sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Combine and Serve

  • Once the broth is ready, add Ramen Z noodles to the broth and let it simmer for one last time.
  • Once the noodles are heated through, transfer to a bowl and top with chicken and your favorite garnishes. Enjoy !
