Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packets ramen noodles discard seasoning packets
  • 1 lb chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • SAUCE:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water

Method
 

  1. Cook ramen noodles in boiling water for 1–2 minutes until just softened. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together all the stir-fry sauce ingredients.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add remaining oil to the skillet and stir-fry the vegetables until crisp-tender, about 3–4 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, add the cooked ramen noodles, and pour the sauce over everything.
  7. Toss until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles completely.
  8. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds and serve warm.

Notes

• Add sriracha or chili paste for a spicy version.
• Frozen stir-fry veggies can replace fresh vegetables.
• Use shrimp, beef, or tofu instead of chicken.
• Add 1 tablespoon peanut butter to the sauce for a creamy peanut twist.
• Cook ramen very briefly so it doesn’t break apart when stir-fried.
