Instructions
- Put the ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packages) into a bowl and cover them with hot tap water. After 5 minutes, use a fork to gently separate the noodles.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until it is no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the veggies and let them cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they barely start to soften.
- Drain the ramen and then add it to the pan. Pour the sauce over the top and mix everything together. Let heat through for 2-3 minutes until it is thick and coats the noodles. Serve the noodles topped with some chopped peanuts and cilantro.
Notes
- Dark soy sauce gives a lot of color and flavor to the noodles. If you don't have any on hand, you can use regular soy sauce.
- For the veggies, we like a combination of green cabbage, red pepper, and carrots. Other tasty options are chopped onion, snap peas, broccoli, and bean sprouts.
