  • Aromatics: 1 tbsp fresh ginger (minced), 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Sauce:
    • ¼ cup soy sauce
    • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
    • 1 tbsp sesame oil

    • 1 tsp sriracha or chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Ginger Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha (if using).
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add a little sesame oil and cook the sliced chicken until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a bit more sesame oil and sauté the carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms until tender.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: Pour in the ginger glaze mixture and let it simmer. Mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water, then add to the sauce to thicken.
  5. Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the pan and coat with the glaze.
  6. Cook the Noodles: Prepare ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and add to the pan, tossing to combine.
  7. Serve: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Spicier? Add extra sriracha or chili oil.
  • Gluten-Free? Use tamari instead of soy sauce and swap ramen for rice noodles.
  • Vegetarian? Replace chicken with tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth.
  • More Protein? Top with a soft-boiled egg or add edamame.
