2. Ingredients for the Chicken Ramen Stir Fry

  • 2 packs of ramen noodles ( discard seasoning packets or save for another use)

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced

3. How to Make the Perfect Chicken Ramen Stir Fry

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

Slice the chicken into thin strips and chop your vegetables. Boil water and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Stir-fry the vegetables

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add minced garlic, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the bell peppers and snap peas, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.

Step 4: Combine ingredients

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 5: Add noodles and finish

Add the cooked ramen noodles to the stir-fry mixture. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Chicken Ramen Stir Fry

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave or stir-fry in a hot skillet until heated through. For best results, add a splash of soy sauce or sesame oil during reheating to restore flavor.

5. Serving Suggestions for Your Chicken Ramen Stir Fry

Serve your chicken ramen stir fry hot, garnished with extra green onions or sesame seeds. Pair it with a side of Asian cucumber salad or a light spring roll for a complete meal. If you love adding a bit of heat, chili flakes or sriracha make excellent spicy enhancements.
