Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 ounces instant ramen noodles 3 (3-ounce) packets discard seasoning packets
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1–1/2 teaspoons ginger paste
  • 2/3 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 3/4 cup diced broccoli
  • 3/4 cup diced mushrooms 2 ounces
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1 large (1/2 pound) chicken breast or thigh diced into small bite-size pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame oil optional for topping
  • Sesame seeds optional for topping
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions optional for topping

Instructions

  1. Cook the ramen noodles for one minute less than the time stated on the package, then drain and rinse briefly with cold water. Toss with one tablespoon of vegetable oil and set aside.
  2. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for two minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and mushrooms to the pan and sauté for three to five minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Sriracha to your liking, and brown sugar; whisk together and set aside.
  5. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then move the vegetables to one side of the pan. Cook the chicken on the empty side for two to three minutes, stirring until it’s no longer pink on the outside.
  6. Mix the chicken with the vegetables and continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, tossing well to coat everything evenly.
  8. Add the noodles to the pan and toss until they are fully coated with the sauce and mixed with the chicken and vegetables. Drizzle sesame oil on top if you like.
  9. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro if desired, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Break apart a piece of chicken in the pan
  • If it’s pink or juices aren’t clear cook until fully opaque and juices run clear
  • These noodles are best eaten right away for best texture and flavor
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheated with a splash of water
  • Freezing is not recommended as noodles may become mushy
