​​​​​​​Sriracha Chicken Ramen Bowl with Pickled Celery is a delightful fusion of spicy, savory and tangy flavors, perfect for a comforting meal. This dish combines the bold kick of Sriracha and the fresh zest of lime-marinated chicken with pickled celery, a unique and flavorful recipe. 

The pickled celery offers a crisp texture and sour contrast to the rich broth and tender noodles. Infused with vinegar, garlic and mustard, it brings a sweet, sour and salty flavor to the bowl, balancing the spicy elements.  

The chicken is marinated in Sriracha, lime juice and garlic powder, which delivers a spicy and savory kick. Grilling the chicken keeps the meat juicy and tender, which pairs nicely with the ramen noodles. The marinade pairs perfectly with the soy sauce and chicken broth in the soup, creating a rich, flavorful base that is savory and comforting. 

The soup features a blend of sautéed onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic and ginger. Adding Sriracha sauce and fresh ginger further elevates the broth's flavors. Soy sauce adds umami to the recipe. To finish the recipe, garnish with fresh green onions and cilantro, adding freshness and aromatics.
