Ingredients
- 2 packages ramen noodles (3-ounces each), seasoning packets discarded (see note)
- ⅓ cup soy sauce low-sodium
- ¼ cup rice vinegar unseasoned
- 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (see note)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken or ground turkey
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger (or ginger paste or cubes - see note)
- 4 to 6 to 6 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 cup peas frozen
- 4 to 6 to 6 green onions white and green parts, chopped
- Coarsely chopped cashews or peanuts
Instructions
- In a medium pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the ramen noodles until al dente according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cool water, and drain again. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, chili garlic sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil. Set aside.
- In a 12-inch nonstick or cast iron skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat and add the ground chicken or turkey. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for a minute or so, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks.
- Add the ginger, garlic, and the white parts of the green onions, and continue to cook, until the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess grease, if needed.
- Add the drained noodles to the skillet.
- Whisk the sauce to recombine. Add it to the skillet with the frozen peas. Toss and stir, cooking over medium heat, until the peas are heated through.
- Sprinkle with green onions and cashews. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ramen: I've made this recipe with every day ramen noodles and also with rice ramen (the Lotus Foods brand, found at Costco). If using dry ramen noodles that come in a bulk-style package, use two "bricks" of ramen about the same size as the typical packages of ramen from the grocery store, or weigh out the equivalent (you'll need 6 ounces dry ramen total).
- Chili Garlic Sauce: dial down the chili garlic sauce, to taste, for less kick, if needed.
- Ginger: when it comes to ginger, several options work in this recipe. Freshly grated ginger (freeze knobs of ginger and grate, from frozen, on small holes of a box grater - no need to peel). Ginger paste (often found in tubes in refrigerated produce section). Ginger cubes (usually found in freezer section - I also use frozen garlic cubes for the garlic called for in the recipe).
