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
You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breast if preferred.
Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicier version.
Use fresh ramen noodles for an even better texture.
