Quick Chicken Ramen Stir-Fry

1.In a medium bowl, toss the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 5-10 minutes.

2.Prepare the stir-fry sauce by whisking together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, water, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside.

3.Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions, but do not use the seasoning packets. Drain well and set aside.

4.Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

5.Add the red bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.

6.Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.

7.Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the drained ramen noodles.

8.Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken, vegetables, and noodles. Toss everything together gently for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the noodles and ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.

9.Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds before serving immediately.
