Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water or cream to loosen the sauce.
Top tips for Success
- Don’t overcook the noodles — they should stay slightly firm so they don’t get too soft in the sauce.
- Use the reserved ramen water to control the texture and make the sauce extra silky.
- Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
FAQ
