Sauces & Oils
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce

Instructions
- Boil Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles for 2 minutes until slightly undercooked. Drain well and set aside.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Set aside.
- Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add chicken pieces and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Stir-fry Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Stir-fry red bell pepper, snap peas, and carrot for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Add Aromatics: Add minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Return cooked chicken to the pan with vegetables. Add the cooked ramen noodles and the prepared sauce. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with the green parts of sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your quick chicken ramen stir fry.
Notes
- Discard the seasoning packets from the ramen noodles to avoid excess sodium and unwanted flavors.
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if preferred, but thighs remain juicier.
- Adjust vegetable choices based on availability; broccoli or mushrooms work well.
- For extra heat, add a splash of chili sauce or some red pepper flakes during stir-fry.
- Ensure high heat is maintained for a proper stir-fry texture and flavor.
