- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- ¼ teaspoon white ground pepper
For the Chicken and Noodles:
- 3 (3-ounce) packages of instant ramen noodles (without the seasoning packets)
- 1 pound diced boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided into 1 tablespoon and 2 tablespoons)
For the Vegetables:
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper (1 medium-sized red bell pepper)
- 1 cup sliced white button mushrooms
- ½ cup diced sweet yellow onion
- 1 cup broccoli florets, broken into small bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon fresh cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 thinly sliced green onions (optional garnish)
- ½ tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, omitting the flavor packet. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Stir-fry garlic, ginger, red bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, and broccoli for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Add the cooked chicken and noodles back into the skillet. Pour the sauce over everything and toss to combine.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the noodles and vegetables.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- This recipe is versatile and can be made spicier by adding more sriracha, or less spicy by reducing or omitting it.
- Substitute the chicken with tofu for a vegetarian version.
- Use different vegetables like bok choy, snow peas, or carrots to add more variety.
- For a lower-sodium version, use low-sodium soy sauce.
