Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, sliced into thin strips

Noodles

  • 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet) or 7 oz fresh ramen noodles

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sauce & Flavorings

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil, plus more if needed
  • Optional: chili flakes or sriracha to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the chicken into thin, uniform strips for quick and even cooking. Chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and ginger finely so they’re ready to use.
  2. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Boil ramen noodles according to package directions, omitting the seasoning packets. Drain the noodles and set aside; they will finish cooking in the stir fry.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Stir Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more sesame oil if needed. Add minced garlic and ginger and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant. Add bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, or your chosen vegetables. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Combine Everything Together: Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add the cooked ramen noodles, soy sauce, and a splash of sesame oil. Toss everything together well and heat through, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated and mixed.
  6. Final Touches and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add chili flakes or drizzle sriracha if you want extra heat. Garnish with sliced green onions or toasted sesame seeds, then serve hot.

Notes

  • Cut chicken and vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • Cook on high heat to achieve a good sear and keep vegetables crisp.
  • Undercook noodles slightly when boiling to prevent mushiness after stir frying.
  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor impact.
  • Have all ingredients prepped ahead to speed up the cooking process.
