Ingredients

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

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup snap peas

  • 1 carrot, julienned

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

  • 3 green onions, sliced (white & green parts separated)

Sauce:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • ¼ tsp white pepper

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Noodles
Bring a pot of water to boil. Cook ramen 2 minutes until slightly underdone. Drain and set aside.

2️⃣ Make the Sauce
Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper in a small bowl.

3️⃣ Cook the Chicken
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
Add chicken and cook 5–6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4️⃣ Stir-Fry the Veggies
Add remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry bell pepper, snap peas, and carrot 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.

5️⃣ Add Aromatics
Stir in garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

6️⃣ Combine Everything
Return chicken to pan. Add noodles + sauce.
Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until coated and hot.

7️⃣ Serve
Top with the green onion tops and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Undercook ramen slightly — it finishes cooking in the stir fry, preventing mushiness.

  • Want extra heat? Add sriracha or chili flakes to the sauce 🔥

  • Swap chicken thighs for:

    • Shrimp (cook 2–3 min)

    • Tofu (crispy pan-fry first)

    • Chicken breast (can dry faster — don’t overcook!)

  • Add more veggies like broccoli, mushrooms, or baby corn.
