Ingredients
  

For the Stir Fry:
  • 9 ounces ramen noodles your favorite brand or gluten-free option
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for a rich, flavorful base
  • 2 chicken breasts thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups napa cabbage shredded
  • ½ cup green onion sliced
  • Sesame seeds optional, for garnish
  • ½ cup soy sauce primary seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil adds aromatic quality
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce for umami
  • 1 tablespoon honey balances saltiness
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha adjust for spice

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Pot for boiling noodles
  • Cutting Board and Knife
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, slice your chicken breasts thinly and season them with pepper. Chop your red bell pepper, mince the garlic, shred the napa cabbage, and slice the green onions.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes. Add the napa cabbage and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until wilted but crunchy.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the cooked ramen noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, honey, and sriracha. Toss until well combined, adding reserved pasta water if necessary.
  6. Once heated through, remove from heat. Stir in the green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Serve immediately!

Notes

  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Don’t overcook the vegetables; they should remain crisp and vibrant.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha according to your preference.
