Ramen Noodle Stir Fry
Description
This recipe begins by mixing cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then adding both seasoning packets from the instant ramen to form a savory sauce. Ramen noodles are cooked separately according to package instructions and drained. In a hot skillet with olive oil, garlic and onion are sautéed briefly before adding chicken pieces, which are cooked until no longer pink. Sliced carrot, cabbage, and the white part of green onions are added and cooked briefly to maintain some crispness.
Cooked noodles and the prepared sauce are added to the skillet and tossed continuously as the sauce thickens and clings to the ingredients. Lastly, the green parts of the green onions are stirred in before serving immediately. The texture combines tender but not mushy vegetables with firm chicken and soft noodles coated in a thickened, flavorful sauce derived from the ramen seasoning.
This stir fry repurposes instant ramen seasoning to form a cohesive sauce rather than a broth, offering a quick meal with familiar flavors and added fresh vegetables for texture and nutrition. Cooking times are short to prevent overcooking of the vegetables and chicken.
