Cook the Ramen Noodles:
  1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
  2. Cook ramen noodles according to package directions (usually 2-3 minutes).
  3. Drain, rinse under cold water, and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the Chicken:

  2. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
  1. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil.
  2. Add bell pepper, snap peas, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the Aromatics:
  1. Push vegetables to the side and add garlic, ginger, and white parts of the green onions.
  2. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Combine Everything:
  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  2. Add cooked ramen noodles and pour in the stir-fry sauce.
  3. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce coats the noodles evenly.
  4. Serve and Enjoy!
  5. Garnish with green onion tops and an extra drizzle of sesame oil if desired.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Chicken Ramen Stir Fry!

Notes

  • Avoid overcooking the noodles; they should be slightly firm before stir-frying.
  • Rinse noodles with cold water to stop cooking and remove excess starch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet with a splash of soy sauce to maintain texture.
