One Pot Cashew Chicken Ramen
Description
Starting with sautéing chicken pieces in vegetable oil until cooked, this recipe sets aside the protein and uses the same skillet to cook ramen noodles with seasoning packets. Thinly sliced red and green bell peppers and onions cook with the noodles in water until softened, infusing flavor into the broth and vegetables.
A whisked sauce of hoisin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic is added together with the cooked chicken and cashews. The mixture simmers for a few minutes, allowing cashews to soften slightly and the ingredients to meld in a savory, slightly tangy sauce coating the noodles and chicken.
The dish is served garnished with thinly sliced green onions and optionally cracked black pepper. It requires a deep skillet or pot for proper cooking. This method provides a complete, flavorful meal in one pan, combining protein, vegetables, and starch efficiently.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast chopped into 2-inch pieces, boneless skinless
- 2 packages chicken flavored ramen noodles (including seasoning)
- 1 ½ cups water divided
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce (I used low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- ½ white onion sliced
- ½ cup cashews
- green onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- Drizzle your skillet (see note) with oil. Saute chicken until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Place ramen noodles in the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle seasoning packets over the noodles, then add peppers and onions to the skillet. Pour 1 1/4 cups of water into the skillet. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes until noodles are soft and liquid is absorbed.
- Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup water, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic and add to the skillet along with the cooked chicken and the cashews. Stir to combine.
- Allow to cook for 3-5 minutes until cashews start to become tender. Top with green onions, cracked black pepper (optional) and serve hot.
Notes
- Use a skillet or pot at least 3 inches deep to accommodate noodles and sauce comfortably.
- Ensure chicken is cooked through before adding noodles for proper texture.
- Add vegetables with noodles for simultaneous cooking and flavor blending.
- Cashews soften slightly during final simmer, adding crunch and richness.
