I am super excited to share this Chicken Ramen Noodle recipe with you guys today. This Ramen Noodle Recipe turned out so good, that I made two days in a row for dinner. Perfectly balanced Stir-fry Sauce, Juicy chicken and loads of veggies. This Ramen recipe just hits the spot.
I was a big fan of instant noodles. It used to be my go-to meal during the hostel days. I am sure many can relate to this fact. Even now I keep a few packets of instant noodles handy for my mid-night hunger pangs or a quick cheat meal. But not a big fan of the seasoning that comes with it.
Though Instant Noodles has become a rare indulgence, it is still one of my favourites. I have no count of how many variations of instant noodles I have tried. But every time it used to be with the packed seasoning. This is the first time I used my own stir-fry sauce instead. And the result is just mind-blowing.

There is no limit to the number of veggies you can add. I have added Broccoli and pepper here. You can add mushrooms, Carrot, Beans, Zucchini etc. While veggies are good, I would not overload the dish with it. There has to a balance among noodles, chicken and veggies.

While making any stir fries, it is important to add the ingredients as per their cooking time. Start with adding any aromatics like ginger, garlic or chilli, followed by Onion if using. Then add the protein. Once the protein is almost cooked add tough vegetables like carrot, beans. Once they are half cooked, add rest of the ingredients like broccoli, peppers etc.
The thumb rule while making any Stir-fry is to keep the vegetable crunchy. So make sure you don’t overcook the veggies.
When you are almost done with cooking the chicken and veggies, add water and instant Ramen noodles. Let it cook for a minute. Then flip the blocks and cook for another 2 minutes.
