Steps
1
Prepare the Doves:
– Season the dove breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
– Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp avocado oil and sear the dove breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to medium-rare. Set aside and slice thinly.

Make the Broth

– Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute).
– Stir in the chili paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
– Add chicken or game stock, soy sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar/honey. Bring to a simmer and let the broth cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cook the Ramen Noodles:
While the broth simmers, cook ramen noodles according to package instructions (without the seasoning packet). Drain and set aside.

Assemble the Ramen

– Ladle the spicy broth over the noodles.
