With all those leftover Swiss sauce, this recipe is just perfect. The chicken thighs were simply delicious. It is hard not to be, because the leftover Swiss sauce was packed with chicken flavors already. With some fresh green onions, onions and garlic, the chicken thighs were extra amazing. The ginger topping may seems a bit funny, but after they were cooked by the oil. The ginger and green onion were aromatic and flavorful. It was tasty to mix with the noodles. A little bit goes a long way. Give this recipe a try, and you will always want to marinate your chicken like this.

2 servings

Ingredients:

–   4 boneless chicken thighs

–   dash of salt

Marinade for chicken:

–   ½ onion (finely diced)

–   4 tablespoons Swiss sauce

Directions:

1. Put all the marinade ingredients and chicken thighs in a large Ziploc bag. Mix well. Marinate for 6 hours in the fridge.
2. To make the topping, in a small heatproof bowl, combine the green onion, ginger, and salt.
3. In a small pan over medium-low heat, warm up the oil. Pour the oil into the ginger mixture. Mix well.
4. In a large pan over medium heat, heat up 1 tablespoon oil. Wipe off all the marinade on the chicken thighs with hand. Cook the chicken until golden brown and done.
5. Bring a medium pot of water to boil over high heat. Cook the instant ramen by following the package instruction. Drain and place the noodles in two serving plates. Top with some ginger topping. Place the chicken thighs on the side. Serve immediately.

Tips:

1. For a faster way to minced ginger, I grated the ginger with a grater.
2. If you don’t like ramen, you can use steamed rice. I am sure that will still be amazing.
3. You can find good ramen in Japanese or Chinese supermarket or online. I used Nissin demae ramen.
