Tender, bite size pieces of chicken, ramen noodles and a lot of fresh vegetables come together in this quick, flavorful stir fry. So easy, packed full of flavor and ready in 30 minutes, this chicken ramen noodle stir fry will become a regular on you menu rotation.
I love a quick meal that the entire family enjoys. We are all big fans of Asian inspired flavors, so this chicken ramen noodle stir fry checks all the boxes. A recipe gets major bonus points if it doesn’t use every pot and pan in the kitchen.
This quick chicken ramen noodle stir fry checks all the boxes. It packs a lot of flavor. It uses one pan and comes together, from start to finish in under 30 minutes. Another plus is it’s loaded with fresh vegetables tossed together in a delicious savory sauce.
I love the combination of the juicy chicken, broccoli, peppers, meaty shitake mushrooms and perfectly slurpable noodles in this stir fry.
*Side note. I’ve cooked with various types of mushrooms, but I don’t think I’ve ever cooked with shitakes until now. And boy have I been missing out. These little guys are amazing. They are full of flavor, thick and very meaty. I love the addition of the different texture these added to this dish.
To finish of the dish I add a hefty sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and fresh, chopped chives to the top. This adds a little texture and a pretty pop of color!
I love this combination of vegetables and chicken.
However, this stir fry is completely customizable. Pork or beef can be used in place of the chicken. To make this vegetarian leave the meat out all together and load up on the vegetables or add tofu.
There are tons of various vegetables that can be used; either fresh or frozen. A great frozen stir fry mix is totally acceptable and is a great way to cut more time of the prep work. Shredded cabbage or just a bag of coleslaw mix is another great addition. Shredded carrots, sugar snap peas, zucchini, and water chestnuts are just a few options that would be amazing in stir fry.
This is truly a one pot meal. It’s got your proteins, vegetables and carbs all in one pot. However the addition of your favorite eggrolls or soup would pair perfectly with this meal.
