Ingredients
- 0.5 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 ounce chicken breast (thinly sliced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 ounce fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.25 cup yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup carrot (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 package instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken breast and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, thinly sliced yellow onion, thinly sliced red bell pepper, and shredded carrots to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce. Set aside.
- Add the instant ramen noodles (discarding the seasoning packet) and 1/4 cup water to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until noodles are softened.
- Uncover, add the prepared sauce mixture and toasted sesame oil to the skillet, tossing well to combine everything. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened and coats the noodles.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce to your preferred spice level. For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of turmeric powder with the ginger and garlic.
