Ingredients

2 (3 ounce) packages chicken-flavored ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces

3 to 4 cups broccoli florets

1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced small

1 (14.4 ounce) can baby corn, drained and halved if necessary

1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained

2 tablespoons soy sauce (plus more if desired)

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 to 3 tablespoons chili garlic sauce, to taste

1 to 2 teaspoons ground ginger

3 to 4 green onions, trimmed and sliced into thin rounds

Sesame seeds, optional for garnish

Salt and pepper, optional and to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Heat sesame oil and olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add diced chicken and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through and lightly browned.
  4. Add broccoli florets, diced red bell pepper, baby corn, and bamboo shoots. Cover the pan and allow the vegetables to steam for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and ground ginger. Toss well so the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated.
  7. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes while stirring to combine the flavors.
  8. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds.
  9. Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, or additional soy sauce if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap chicken with shrimp, thinly sliced beef, or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Add vegetables like snap peas, carrots, mushrooms, cabbage, or zucchini for more variety.
  • Increase chili garlic sauce or add red pepper flakes for extra heat, or reduce it for a milder flavor.
  • A drizzle of honey or a splash of hoisin sauce can add a slightly sweeter flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or soy sauce if the noodles seem dry.
  • Freezing is not recommended because the noodles and vegetables may become soft after thawing.
