Chicken Ramen Stir Fry 

Chicken Ramen Stir Fry is a creative fusion dish that blends the comforting slurp of ramen noodles with the vibrant, crisp textures of a stir-fry. It combines tender pieces of chicken, colorful vegetables, and springy ramen noodles, all tossed in a savory, umami-rich sauce. Unlike traditional ramen served in broth, this version is dry more like lo mein with a perfect balance of flavors and textures. 

Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• Ramen noodles: 2 packages (6 oz each), seasoning packets discarded 

• Chicken: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces (chicken breast can be used, but thighs are preferred for flavor and tenderness) 

• Vegetables:

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 cup snap peas

  • 1 carrot, julienned

• Aromatics:

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced (not listed in ingredients, implied from instructions) 

  • 3 green onions, sliced (separate white and green parts) 

• Sauce:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • ¼ tsp white pepper 

• Oil: 2 tbsp vegetable oil (high smoke-point oil recommended) 

Directions

1. Prep ingredients: Slice chicken into bite sized pieces; chop vegetables; mince garlic and ginger; slice green onions, keeping whites and greens separate. 

2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Set aside. 

3. Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add chicken, stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 5–6 minutes). Remove and set aside. 

4. Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry bell pepper, snap peas, and carrot for 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.

5. Add aromatics: Add minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of green onions. Stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. 

6. Cook the noodles: Meanwhile, boil ramen noodles in water for ~2 minutes slightly undercook to avoid mushiness. Drain well. 

7. Combine everything: Return chicken to the pan, add the cooked noodles and sauce. Stir-fry everything together for 2–3 minutes until well combined and heated through.

8. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions. Serve hot.
