    ​Recipe Ingredients Notes

    ramen noodle stir fry labelled ingredients.
    • Chicken stock. This gives the stock a rich flavor. You can use regular or low sodium chicken stock or chicken broth.
    • Soy sauce. Regular soy sauce or gluten-free tamari can be used. Regular or low sodium soy sauce both will work.
    • Oyster sauce. This adds a sweet and salty flavor to the sauce. If you you cannot find oyster sauce, you can substitute hoisin sauce (it will be a bit sweeter) or gochujang (which will be a bit spicier). 
    • Grated ginger and grated garlic. These fresh ingredients bring a classic bold flavor to the sauce. Grating allows the ginger and garlic to blend better with the other ingredients.
    • Sriracha sauce. Just a bit adds some subtle spicy heat to the dish.
    • Cornstarch. This helps the sauce thicken as it warms when tossed with the instant ramen noodles and other ingredients. 
    • Instant Ramen Noodles. You’ll need 8-9 ounces of ramen noodles. All package sizes are different so choose a package or packages to make up this amount. Regular ramen or gluten-free ramen will work. Discard the seasoning packet; you’ll just use the noodles.
    • Sesame oil. This is used for sautéing and adds a warm sesame flavor to the ingredients.
    • Ground chicken. You’ll use one pound. This provides the protein in the ramen noodle stir fry which makes it filling. If preferred you can substitute the same amount of boneless skinless chicken breast cut into small cubes. 
    • Vegetables. One half cup EASH chopped yellow onion, chopped carrots and halved snap peas will be used. Snow peas can be substituted for the snap peas if desired.
    • Green onion. Sliced scallion is added at the end as a topping. They are not intended to cook in the dish.
    • Sesame seeds (optional). Optional garnish.

    Stir Fry Pro Tip

    Stir frying is a great way to make a fast meal that’s healthy and delicious. The key is to have all ingredients or recipe components prepped before you begin. It’s a fast way to cook and there is no time to cook and prepare ingredients at the same time.

    How to make

    STEP 1. Make the sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sriracha, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch (photo 1).

    Set aside until ready to use. 

    STEP 2. Prepare the ramen noodles

    Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and rinse them until cold water. 

    ramen noodle stir fry recipe steps 1-4.

    STEP 3. Stir Fry

    Heat a large skillet (non-stick if possible) or wok over medium heat. Add the sesame oil and ground chicken. Cook the chicken, breaking it up as you stir, for 2-3 minutes or just until it begins to turn pale white and no longer pink. 

    Add the onion and carrots (photo 2). Stir and cook the vegetables with the chicken for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the chicken is beginning to crisp (photo 3). 

    Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the sauce to the chicken (if the cornstarch settles to the bottom, whisk the sauce before adding it to the pan). Add the snap peas and ramen noodles. Stir until the stir fry sauce evenly coats the chicken, vegetables, and noodles (photo 4). 

    STEP 4. Serve

    Remove the pan from the heat and add the green onions. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds.

    Variations

    Using different protein. This recipe is very flexible to swap in your choice of protein. You could substitute ground turkey, ground beef, ground pork or even crumbled tempeh. 

    Using different vegetables. You can add or swap in other favorite vegetables. They should be in a small size to cook in the same amount of time as the other ingredients. Small broccoli florets, chopped bok choy, sliced water chestnuts, chopped red bell peppers, chopped napa cabbage, sliced canned bamboo shoots are all other options.

    Storing Leftovers

    Store any leftover stir fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 days. Reheat in a microwave before serving.

      This was very good. But next time I will cut back on the oyster sauce because it was a little too salty for my taste. Will make againโ€ฆโ€ฆ
