A quick and flavorful chicken ramen stir fry perfect for busy weeknights, combining tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and a savory-sweet sauce with ramen noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium optional)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce as substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • Optional garnishes: sesame seeds, extra sliced green onions, chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice chicken breasts into bite-sized strips. Wash and slice red bell pepper into thin strips. Trim and rinse snap peas, slice green onions, mince garlic, and grate ginger if using.
  2. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add ramen noodles and cook until tender but firm, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey, toasted sesame oil, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 2 minutes. Stir and cook until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes more. Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Add minced garlic and sliced bell pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and starting to soften. Add snap peas and cook another 1-2 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Return cooked chicken to the pan. Add drained ramen noodles and pour sauce over. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through and thicken sauce slightly. Add sliced green onions and toss again.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or chili flakes if desired.

Notes

Do not overcook snap peas or bell peppers to maintain crunch. Rinsing noodles after boiling prevents clumping. Slice chicken thinly and cook in batches if needed to avoid steaming. Use tongs to gently toss noodles to prevent breaking.
