How to Make This Chicken Ramen Stir Fry Recipe

Ready to get cooking? Here’s how we make our Chicken Ramen Stir Fry recipe:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic powder. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer, if you have time).

2. Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions, but reduce the cooking time by 1 minute. You want them slightly undercooked. Drain well and set aside.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, chicken broth, and sriracha (if using) until smooth. This is your delicious sauce!

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

5. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the bell peppers, broccoli florets, carrots, and mushrooms. Stir fry for 3 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender crisp.

6. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!

7. Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 2 minutes.

8. Add the cooked chicken and ramen noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the noodles and chicken in the sauce.

9. Cook for another minute or two, until everything is heated through and well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

How to Serve This Chicken Ramen Stir Fry Recipe

Serve your Chicken Ramen Stir Fry hot, right from the wok. Presentation is everything, but a simple bowl will do!

Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or a drizzle of extra sriracha for an added kick. It pairs perfectly with a side of Cashew Chicken Stir Fry for those looking for more variety on the table.

How to Store This Chicken Ramen Stir Fry Recipe

Leftovers are your friend! To store, let the Chicken Ramen Stir Fry cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through. Freezing is not recommended, as the noodles can become soggy.

Tips to Make This Chicken Ramen Stir Fry Recipe

• Don’t overcook the noodles: Slightly undercooking them initially prevents them from becoming mushy in the stir fry.
• Prep your ingredients: Having everything chopped and measured before you start cooking makes the process much faster and smoother.
• High heat is key: Using high heat ensures that the chicken and vegetables get a nice sear and don’t become too soggy.
• Adjust the sauce to your liking: Feel free to add more or less sriracha, brown sugar, or soy sauce to suit your taste.

Helpful Notes for This Chicken Ramen Stir Fry Recipe

For the best results, use fresh, high quality ingredients. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but the flavor won't be quite as vibrant.

You can also add other vegetables to the stir fry, such as snow peas, snap peas, or water chestnuts. For the noodles, you can substitute other kinds, if you would like. Just make sure to use noodles that have similar girth or thickness so the cooking time remains the same.

Variation of This Chicken Ramen Stir Fry Recipe

Feeling adventurous? Try these variations! For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Or, add a handful of peanuts or cashews for added crunch and another layer of flavor like how we do in Brazilian Coconut Chicken.

For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh. And for a gluten free version, use gluten free ramen noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce. We think you will also enjoy Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos, as well!
