Ingredients
- 2 packages (6 oz each) ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 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)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp white pepper
Instructions
1. Bring a pot of water to boil for the ramen noodles.
2. While 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 chicken pieces and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add remaining oil. Stir-fry bell pepper, snap peas, and carrot for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
5. Add minced garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Meanwhile, cook 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.
Notes
For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.
You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breast or tofu for a different protein option.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or baby corn for more variety.
