Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
- 2 packs ramen noodles
- 2 cups mixed vegetables
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure the chicken breasts are sliced into thin strips for even cooking.
- In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and allow it to heat up for about 30 seconds.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
- Add the sliced chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are heated through and slightly tender.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
- Pour the soy sauce over the noodle mixture. Toss everything together gently to combine, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the flavors are well combined.
- Remove the skillet from heat and serve the chicken ramen noodle stir fry hot. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Slice chicken thinly and uniformly to ensure even and quick cooking.
- Don't overcook the vegetables - they should remain slightly crisp for the best texture.
- Use high heat when stir-frying to get that authentic restaurant-style sear.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- If you want to make this dish even more exciting, try using different protein options like shrimp or tofu.
- Always have your ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking, as stir-frying moves quickly.
- Use a non-stick wok or large skillet for the best results and easiest cleanup.
