Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 14 oz), thinly sliced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 blocks instant ramen noodles (about 6.3 oz total), cooked and drained (discard seasoning packet)
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for topping)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1–2 teaspoons chili flakes or sriracha (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional: julienned carrots
  • Optional: handful of snow peas or snap peas
  • Optional: toasted peanuts or cashews (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts thinly against the grain and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Toss chicken slices in cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Let rest while prepping sauce and veggies.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili flakes or sriracha, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Taste and adjust heat as needed.
  4. Slice red bell pepper, chop broccoli florets, and slice green onions. Prep any optional veggies.
  5. Boil ramen noodles for 2-3 minutes until chewy but not mushy. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add coated chicken in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  7. In the same pan, stir fry bell pepper and broccoli (and any optional veggies) for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
  8. Return chicken to pan. Add cooked noodles and pour over the honey garlic sauce. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat until coated and glossy. If noodles clump, loosen with a splash of hot water.
  9. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Prep all ingredients before starting, as stir fry moves quickly. For gluten-free, use rice ramen and tamari. Adjust spice level to taste. For crispier noodles, let them sit in the pan for 30 seconds without stirring. Leftovers keep well and flavors deepen over time. For vegetarian, swap chicken for tofu or tempeh.
