- 2 packs instant ramen noodles discard seasoning packets
- 1 lb chicken thighs sliced (juicy and flavorful!)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp ginger grated
- 1 bell pepper sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot julienned
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha optional, for spice
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp water if needed for sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions & sesame seeds for garnish
Prep the Ingredients: Slice the chicken and vegetables. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Warm 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until golden and cooked through (5-6 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Toss in garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots, cooking for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and sriracha. Stir in the cornstarch slurry.
Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add cooked ramen noodles. Pour the sauce over and toss everything to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with green onions, sesame seeds, or crushed peanuts. Serve hot!
- Noodle Options: Swap ramen for udon, rice noodles, or soba if preferred.
- Veggie Swaps: Use whatever veggies you love — snap peas, cabbage, or mushrooms work great!
- Sauce Tweaks: Add honey or brown sugar for a touch of sweetness, or extra sriracha for more heat.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Reheats well for lunch the next day — just add a splash of water when reheating to loosen the sauce.
