How to Make This Chicken Ramen Stir Fry Recipe
For the Sauce
STEP ONE: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauces, hoisin, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha and white pepper. Set it aside.
For the Chicken, Noodles and Vegetables
STEP ONE: In a 3 to 4-quart saucepan, over medium-high heat, bring to a low boil 6 cups of water. Add the instant noodles only to the hot water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the noodles begin to soften. Drain and rinse the noodles in cold water to stop the cooking process. Set the noodles aside.
PRO TIP:
You don’t need the seasoning packet that comes in the ramen packages. You can either toss them or keep them for another recipe in the future.
STEP TWO: In a 10 to 12-inch nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
STEP THREE: Add in the diced chicken breast and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
STEP FOUR: Keep the skillet on medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
STEP FIVE: Add the diced red peppers, mushrooms, and diced onions. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion and peppers are slightly tender.
STEP SIX: Add in the broccoli and sauté just until the broccoli begins to turn a vibrant green.
STEP SEVEN: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute.
STEP EIGHT: Add the chicken to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Turn the stovetop heat off.
PRO TIP:
You can toss the cooked noodles in either sesame or vegetable oil before adding them to the skillet.
STEP NINE: Add the cooked ramen.
STEP TEN: Pour the sauce over the ramen mixture and use tongs to toss the ramen mixture in the sauce.
