Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
• 1 (3 ounce) package ramen noodles with seasoning packet
• 1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
• 8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, diced
• 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place ramen noodles in a bowl. Set seasoning packet aside. Pour boiling water over noodles until they are submerged; set aside while you start the stir-fry.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the entire pan. Add chicken and stir to coat with oil. Add oyster sauce and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Stir-fry chicken until no longer pink and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add frozen vegetables. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and let steam until heated through and soft, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and 1 teaspoon minced garlic; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl.

Step 4

Drain softened ramen noodles, reserving 2 tablespoons soaking water.

Step 5

Heat remaining sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add reserved soaking water along with 1/2 of the ramen seasoning packet, remaining soy sauce, remaining garlic, and chili powder. Add ramen noodles; cook and stir constantly until coated and water has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer to serving bowls and top with chicken and vegetable mixture.
