Ingredients

Scale

Ramen Noodles

  • 2 packages (6 oz each) ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded

Chicken & Vegetables

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 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)

Sauce & Oils

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil for the ramen noodles. Cook the noodles for 2 minutes, slightly undercooked, then drain well and set aside.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Set the sauce aside.
  3. Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper, snap peas, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry them for 2-3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
  5. Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic, minced ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Add the drained ramen noodles and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until the noodles and ingredients are well combined and heated through.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the dish with the green parts of the sliced green onions and serve hot immediately.

Notes

  • Discard the seasoning packets from the ramen noodles as the sauce provides enough flavor.
  • Julienne the carrot thinly for quick cooking and better texture.
  • Cook the noodles slightly under al dente for best texture in stir-fry.
  • Use high heat during stir-frying to keep veggies crisp and chicken tender.
  • Feel free to substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner option.
  • Adjust soy sauce and oyster sauce quantities to taste if you prefer saltier or sweeter flavors.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or chili flakes for extra flavor if desired.
