Noodles
- 2 packages (6 oz each) ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
Protein
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 3 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
Sauce and Oils
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- Boil Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the ramen noodles for 2 minutes, slightly undercooking them. Drain well and set aside.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Stir well and set aside.
- Cook Chicken: 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 and set aside.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the remaining vegetable oil to the pan. Stir-fry the sliced red bell pepper, snap peas, and julienned carrot for 2-3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
- Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic, minced ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Add the cooked ramen noodles and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Stir-fry together for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are coated and everything is heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the green parts of the sliced green onions on top as garnish. Serve the chicken ramen stir fry hot for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- For spicier flavor, add chili flakes or fresh sliced chili when stir-frying aromatics.
- Using chicken thighs keeps the meat juicy and flavorful.
- Do not overcook noodles; undercooking slightly helps them stay firm during stir-fry.
- You can substitute snap peas with snow peas or green beans.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste if you prefer a less salty dish.
