Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Ingredients

  • 3 packets instant ramen noodles
  • 2 cubed chicken breast about 300g
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • cup onion chopped
  • chili flakes to taste

Stir fry sauce

  • 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • ½ tbsp Sesame oil optional
  • Mirin optional
  • 1 tbs brown or white sugar optional

Instructions

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Coat with cornflour and set aside
  • Add all the stir fry sauce ingredients into a small bowl, mix to combine and set aside
  • Place a skillet on medium heat, add vegetable oil and heat till hot. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent, add chicken pieces and brown on both sides. Make sure chicken is cooked through. This should be about 4 to 5 minutes
  • While waiting for the chicken and the other vegetable to cook/stir fry, cook the instant noodles according to the instructions, add more water than the instruction says as you would still drain it. alternatively, add the noodles in a bowl, pour hot water over it, cover with a lid and leave to stand for about 5 minutes. Another option is cook the noodles in the microwave.
  • Add chopped broccoli and peppers to the chicken and continue to stir fry until vegetable is tender.
  • Add the stir fry sauce to the tender vegetable and chicken, toss or mix to combine and cook for another 1 minute or 2 or until sauce reduces.
  • Add the drained noodles to the pan, sprinkle over the chilli flakes and toss all together to combine.
  • Take it off the heat and serve immediately with garnish of chopped green onions

Notes

Tips
• Use any vegetable of choice. If it is a vegetable you like, go ahead and add it
• Use frozen vegetable if is what you have
• Swap instant ramen noodles for gluten free version
• Use any type of instant or ramen noodle. Discard the flavour pack that comes with it.
• I have used chicken breast for this recipe, ideally, I would use chicken thigh as with most of my recipes. Easy chicken wrap, Chicken shawarma… Chicken thigh is a lot juicer than chicken breast
• Cook the ramen noodles in the same skillet as the vegetable. In this instance, use instant noodles as it takes about two minutes to cook. You might also need more water to cook the noodles than stated on the pack. Remember you have other elements in the skillet too.
