Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

Vegetables

  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 green onions, chopped

Noodles

  • 2 packages (3 oz each) instant ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Other

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Thinly slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and quick stir-frying. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
  2. Cook the noodles: Boil ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually about 3 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and honey until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Stir fry the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and slightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrots. Stir fry for about 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Combine and toss: Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked ramen noodles and pour the sauce over the top. Toss everything together and stir fry for another 2 minutes so the sauce evenly coats the ingredients and the dish is heated through.
  7. Finish and serve: Remove from heat. Stir in chopped green onions and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if using. Serve hot immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Discard the seasoning packets that come with the ramen; they typically contain excess sodium and artificial flavors.
  • Feel free to swap vegetables based on preference or seasonal availability, such as snap peas, mushrooms, or baby corn.
  • Use extra firm tofu instead of chicken to make this dish vegetarian.
  • To reduce sodium, opt for low-sodium soy sauce and oyster sauce alternatives.
  • Prepare all ingredients before stir-frying since the cooking process is quick.
