3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Ramen Stir Fry

Preparation of Ingredients

Before starting, gather all your ingredients and prepare the vegetables by slicing and mincing the garlic. Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.

Cook the Chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Stir Fry the Vegetables

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Toss in the garlic, broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Combine and Season

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked ramen noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and green onions. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Final Touches

Garnish with sesame seeds and extra chopped green onions for presentation. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious chicken ramen stir fry!
