- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Set aside half of the marinade in a small bowl. Add the chicken thighs to the large bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
- When ready to cook, cook the chicken thighs in a large skillet for 6–8 minutes on each side over medium heat, until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles for 2 minutes. Drain well.
- In the same cleaned skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the carrot and bell pepper for 2–3 minutes.
- Add the cooked ramen and the reserved marinade. Stir well and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the creamy Asian sauce.
- Divide the noodles and vegetables into bowls. Top with sliced chicken, sauce, and garnish with green onions and cilantro.
