Ingredients
-
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
-
2 packages ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
-
1 tbsp sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
-
2 cups mixed stir-fry vegetables (fresh or frozen – broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, snap peas)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
-
2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
-
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
For the sauce:
-
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
-
2 tbsp hoisin sauce (or oyster sauce)
-
1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
-
1 tbsp rice vinegar
-
1 tsp sriracha (optional, for heat)
Instructions
-
Cook ramen noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles (without seasoning packets) for about 2–3 minutes, just until tender. Drain and set aside.
-
Sauté chicken: In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat sesame oil. Add sliced chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden. Remove and set aside.
-
Stir-fry veggies: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Toss in vegetables, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
-
Mix sauce: While veggies cook, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sriracha in a small bowl.
-
Combine everything: Return chicken to the pan, add cooked noodles, and pour the sauce over top. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes until coated and heated through.
-
Serve: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot!
Notes
-
Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save even more time.
-
Great with shrimp, beef, or tofu as a protein swap.
-
Add peanuts or cashews for extra crunch.
