1. Start by preparing the ingredients. Mince the garlic and thinly slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
2. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. This will be your sauce.
4. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
5. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook until itβs no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
7. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring well to coat. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
8. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles, cooking for about 3 minutes or until tender, then drain.
9. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together to ensure the noodles are well-coated in the spicy sauce.
10. Serve hot, garnished with the green parts of the green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
