Print Recipe

A heartwarming dish of chicken and colorful vegetables wrapped in delicious ramen noodles, ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packets ramen or other instant noodles (discard seasoning)
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 200g / 7oz chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 1/4 cups (315 ml) water, plus more as needed
  • 1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 small red capsicum/bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups cabbage, finely sliced (any type)
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or hoisin)
  • 2 tsp hoisin sauce (or more oyster sauce)
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • Finely sliced green onions/shallots for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and mirin. Stir well and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over high heat, add the oil. Once hot, add sliced onion and minced garlic, cooking for about 1 1/2 minutes until golden.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until mostly white on the outside, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Pour the mixed sauce into the skillet, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until the chicken is caramelized.
  5. Add the carrot and capsicum, cooking for another minute. Push the chicken and veggies to one side.
  6. Add water to the skillet until it simmers. Place ramen noodles directly into the water and soak for 45 seconds, then flip gently.
  7. After another 30 seconds, carefully untangle the noodles, mixing with chicken and veggies.
  8. Add finely sliced cabbage, tossing everything together for another minute until the sauce reduces and coats the noodles.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly sliced green onions.

Notes

Feel free to swap chicken for shrimp or tofu. Add crushed red pepper for spice or use different noodles as preferred.
