Ingredients

Scale

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

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

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 cup snap peas

  • 1 carrot, julienned

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

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

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil for the ramen noodles.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Set aside.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5–6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Stir-fry bell pepper, snap peas, and carrot for 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.

  • Add garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles in boiling water for about 2 minutes, slightly undercooked. Drain well.

  • Return the chicken to the pan. Add the ramen noodles and pour in the sauce. Toss and stir-fry everything together for 2–3 minutes until well combined and heated through.

  • Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Undercook the noodles slightly: They’ll finish cooking in the wok and absorb more flavor.

  • Use high heat: This keeps the vegetables crisp and gives the dish a true stir-fry texture.

  • Swap proteins: Shrimp, beef, or tofu work well in place of chicken.

  • Add heat: A drizzle of chili oil or a pinch of red pepper flakes adds a spicy kick.

  • Extra veggies: Mushrooms, broccoli, or cabbage are great additions.
