Ingredients
  

Stir Fry
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 2 packages instant ramen noodles seasoning packets discarded
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or other high-heat oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions sliced, for garnish
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish
Stir Fry Sauce
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet or Wok
  • 1 Pot for boiling noodles

Instructions
 

  1. Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions, but for 1 minute less time. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking and stop the cooking process.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the stir fry sauce: soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  3. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
  4. Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, and shredded carrots to the hot skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the drained ramen noodles and pour the sauce over everything.
  6. Toss everything together continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coated the noodles, chicken, and vegetables.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes

Pro Tip: Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking. Stir-fries come together very quickly!
Variations: Add 1 tsp of sriracha for a spicy kick, or swap the chicken for shrimp or tofu.
