How to Make the Recipe

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your Chicken Ramen Stir Fry:

1. Bring a pot of water to boil for the ramen noodles.
2. While the water is heating, prepare the sauce by mixing soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the bell pepper, snap peas, and carrot for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
5. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles in the boiling water for 2 minutes (slightly undercooked). Drain well.
7. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan with the vegetables. Toss in the cooked ramen noodles and sauce. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
8. Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions and serve hot.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your Chicken Ramen Stir Fry turns out perfectly:

• Feel free to swap out the chicken for shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
• Use any vegetables you have on hand; this recipe is very forgiving!
• For an extra kick, add some red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
• If you love creamy dishes, consider adding a splash of coconut milk for a creamy garlic pasta twist!
• Make sure to stir-fry on high heat to get that delicious char on the chicken and veggies.

How to Serve

This Chicken Ramen Stir Fry is best served hot, straight from the pan. You can enjoy it as is or pair it with a refreshing drink.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare this dish ahead of time, you can cook the chicken and vegetables in advance and store them in the fridge. Just reheat them in a pan before adding the noodles and sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just remember, the noodles may absorb some of the sauce, so you might want to add a splash of soy sauce or water when reheating.

So there you have it! A quick, delicious, and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any night of the week. I hope you enjoy making this Chicken Ramen Stir Fry as much as I do. Happy cooking!
