Description
A quick recipe for spicy ramen noodles featuring chicken, garlic, and mixed vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 blocks instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, broccoli, bell peppers)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (adjust to heat preference)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 large egg (optional)
- 1 green onion, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Cook ramen noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
- Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- If using an egg, crack it directly into the simmering broth and cook until the white is set, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are coated and heated through.
- Stir in sesame oil just before serving.
- Divide the ramen into bowls and garnish with sliced green onion.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought.
- You can substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp.
- Add a splash of rice vinegar at the end for brightness.
