Ingredients

  • 3 3-oz. packages dry ramen noodles
  • 1-1/2 lbs. chicken breast chopped
  • 2 carrots finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1 head fresh broccoli chopped into tiny pieces
  • 2 cups mushrooms chopped into tiny pieces

For the sauce:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 clove garlic minced

For topping, optional:

  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Begin by unwrapping the ramen noodles and discarding the seasoning packets. In a medium pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add the ramen noodles and cook for about 2 minutes until they are just slightly chewy. They’ll finish cooking in the sauce later. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water, then set them aside.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped chicken and vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. Once done, remove from heat and add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water, then set it aside.
  • In a separate small pot, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and let it simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Pour the sauce over the noodle mixture in the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles and chicken are evenly coated in the sauce.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat and cook the mixture for about 3 minutes, allowing the noodles to become tender and absorb the sauce.
  • For an extra touch, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if desired.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
