    Chicken Ramen Stir-Fry is tender, springy noodles with chicken and broccoli in a sweet and savory sauce. It tastes better than take-out, has less than 400 calories, and comes together in about 20 minutes. Perfect for dinner tonight!

    The secret to this fast and easy dinner? Quick-cooking ramen noodles. Toss those sodium-packed flavor packets they come with and make a quick sweet and savory sauce. Instant Ramen's got nothing on this fresh, real food version.

    Ingredients for Chicken Ramen Stir Fry

    • Dry Ramen Noodles- Those inexpensive packets of instant ramen noodles are a secret weapon for fast dinners. Toss out the flavor packets that come with them and what remains is a tender, curly, fast-cooking noodle that just needs to be soaked in hot water to serve.
    • Cooking Oil- Any high heat oil will work here. I use avocado oil or grapeseed oil in most of my cooking. Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil would work too.
    • Chicken Breast- Chicken thighs would work as well. Feel free to use thinly sliced pork or beef which should cook in about the same time as the chicken. Tofu is great for a vegetarian version.
    • Broccoli- Look for those bagged, pre-chopped broccoli florets to save time. Any other vegetable you like would work too. This is great with sliced bell peppers, snow peas, or sliced green beans.
    • Low-Sodium Soy Sauce, Rice Vinegar, Brown Sugar, Chicken Stock, and Cornstarch- These pantry staples are all you need to make a flavorful Asian-inspired sauce. I always test with low-sodium soy sauce, but you can add a bit of extra brown sugar to balance the salt flavor if using regular soy sauce.
    • Green Onions  and White Sesame Seeds- These are just for garnish and a little flavor and crunch. Feel free to skip them if you're in a rush.

    Equipment

    • Small Mixing Bowl
    • Microwave Safe Bowl or Saucepan
    • Wok or Large Skillet

    Ingredients

    Sauce:

    • ¼ cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
    • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
    • ⅓ cup Low-Sodium Chicken Stock (substitute water)
    • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
    • 2 tablespoon Brown Sugar
    • 3 cloves Garlic, chopped

    Stir-Fry:

    • 6 oz Ramen Noodles (Instant Ramen works best, but discard flavor packets)
    • 2 tablespoon Cooking Oil, divided
    • 1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, chopped
    • 8 oz Broccoli Florets, fresh or frozen
    • 2 Green Onions, chopped (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon White Sesame Seeds (optional)

    Instructions

    • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch until no lumps remain. Add chicken stock, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic and whisk until evenly combined.
    • Heat a pot or bowl of water in the microwave or on the stove until steaming. Add noodles and set let them soak until just tender. (Check the package instructions for the recommended timing, but reduce by one minute since noodles will continue to cook slightly more when added to the stir-fry.) When the noodles are tender, drain.
    • While noodles soak, toss chicken with some salt and pepper.
    • Heat a wok or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and then chicken. Saute until chicken is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Set chicken aside.
    • Return wok to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and then broccoli. Saute broccoli until it turns bright green and then continue cooking until broccoli is tender (if using frozen broccoli, just saute it until it's heated through and the excess water cooks off).
    • Add sauce to the pan and toss to coat broccoli. Continue cooking until sauce reduces slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
    • Add chicken and noodles to the pan and toss everything to coat in sauce.
    • Remove from heat and add green onions and sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately!

      Ooh gosh, this stir-fry looks ridiculously tasty! We ended up going out tonight after getting home late and realizing that the dinner we had planned wouldn't be ready for nearly two hours...we certainly could have used a recipe like this! But I'm sure there will be a "next time," and I'm looking forward to try this! That first photo in particular makes me want to dive in head first.

        Your SO lucky to be able to look at your children, and give them all of your love through big hugs and cuddles.
        Make food for them, make food with them and laugh about silly things together.... I'm never going to be able to have a baby for me to have these moments.
        I don't mean to be a negative wet blanket, i just wanted to i guess make sure that to have those kids you have are SO VERY lucky... You all deserve that loving bond and they deserve it from you also.
        Never ever let a day go by without knowing you've let them know through either words or actions that you LOVE them to the end of the earth.

        Bless all of you beautiful momma's and dad's.
        Happy Holidays,

      Do you have any tips on how to ensure the ramen noodles don't get mushy when you add them to the stir fry? I made a modified version of this recipe and in the process of stirring the noodles in the wok I overlooked the noodles and it became a mushy mess. FYI I cooked the noodles first then added to wok.

        February 22, 2018 at 12:05 pm

        Hi Tara. That's definitely the only part of this recipe that's a bit finicky. I'd do it exactly the way you mention - cook the noodles first then add to the wok.

        The two keys are that the noodles need to be just barely cooked and need to spend very little time in the hot wok. You can even run them under cool water when you drain them to stop the cooking process when they are first cooked. With ramen noodles, this is tricky because they cook so fast, so err on the side of undercooking them. Even if they're still chewy, you'll have time to cook them a bit more with the sauce. Then when you add them to the sauce, cook them as little as possible.

        Now that you've had them get overcooked (<-PS it just autocorrected mine to overlooked too!) once, I bet you'll get the timing perfect next time.

      My only complaint would be it was a little heavy on the noodles. I added a ton of veggies and changed the spices. Even with all my additions the noodles were still overwhelming. I made a double batch because I have a limited diet and this was easy to change to suit my needs. My changes were:
      -no fresh garlic, powdered instead
      -no onion
      -added fresh, quartered baby Bella mushrooms
      -added thin sliced yellow summer squash
      -added extra brown sugar
      This suited my entire family and left me only 1 extra serving for lunch. Delicious meal that I will certainly make again, with less noodles

          Jess I thought the same thing about servings. What did you consider a serving size? It fed a family of 6 3 adults, 1 teen and 2 toddlers and we had more than enough for anyone to have seconds. I'm on WW and would love to play around with serving sizes.

            Serving size is so subjective. One meal that would be plenty for one family might not be enough for another. I always use my family of 5 as a guide, so there is consistency throughout the recipes on the site. I think you could do a lot to this recipe to tweak it for WW! It’s a great one to list up with veggies and maybe even swap in zucchini noodles for half the ramen.

      I never leave reviews but I felt compelled to. This recipe is awesome!! I am always so hit or miss cooking up Asian dishes but this is a winner! It is sooo easy yet so flavorful. The first night I made this we had no leftovers and less than a week later I had the ingredients so I whipped it up again. The only thing I added in mushrooms. I shared this with a coworker who made it and loved it just as much as I did and now several copies were handed out around the office. It also tastes great reheated. 5/5 for sure! SOOO happy I found this !

      This was excellent!! I added onions and mushrooms and doubled the sauce. I didn’t have rice wine vinegar so I substituted apple cider vinegar and it worked out perfectly. It tasted just like chicken lo mein. We all loved it and I will be making it again very soon!! Soooo good!!

      Quick, easy, and love by all! My daughter loves when we go out and eat hibachi. I told her this was our homemade hibachi and she loved it!

      Chicken, broccoli stir fry was flavorful and filling, while easy to make. Great quick weekend dinner!

      My wife found this recipe when we were out of oriental noodles but we had a few packs of instant noodle soups. Due to the unfortunate pandemic, the local grocery stores did not have any oriental noodles either. We also couldn't get our hands on fresh ginger, so my wife found a cooking oil with ginger and garlic already infused. It's a bit more expensive, but in the end the taste was great, and it took less time to prepare.

      To say that I loved making and eating this dish is an understatement. I have now made it four times in the past three weeks, and I tried a couple of experiments:

      1. In my opinion, a stir-fry is not complete without mushrooms and onions. Before I cooked the chicken, I chopped one medium onion into eight parts (better than dicing or fine chopping in my opinion) and sliced four large mushrooms. I sauteed them in 1 tbsp of cooking oil on medium-high heat for about three minutes, just enough for the onion to fall apart and become translucent. I then moved the mushrooms and onion into a bowl. The mushrooms absorbed just about all of the oil, so I needed another tablespoon of cooking oil for the chicken. I then continued to follow the recipe, and added the mushrooms and onions back into the pan once the broccoli was ready to be sauced.

      2. The first time I made the dish, we only had regular soy sauce, not half-salt, so I did not add salt to the chicken, only pepper.

      3. I love shrimp and chicken together in a stir-fry. I purchased a bag of jumbo (size 16-20) raw frozen deveined shrimp (Black Tiger or Zipper Back are best). I thawed them in warm running water for about two minutes. The first time I made it I peeled the shell before frying, but then I found that frying them in the shell came out better. Only add the shrimp about one minute before you are ready to add the sauce. *** Do not cook with the chicken. *** Shrimp, even large ones, only take about 2 minutes to fully cook, after which they turn to rubber. They only need one minute in the pan (flip after 30 seconds), then add the sauce, chicken, and noodles, combine everything in the pan for just a few seconds and plate up. The shrimp will continue cooking when surrounded by the rest of the hot food, so you don't need to cook them in the pan for the full two minutes.

      4. Spicy chicken - I love spicy food, so one time I added Cayenne pepper to the chicken along with the salt and pepper. Or you can lightly sauce the chicken with Sriracha before cooking. Just make sure you wash your hands very well after touching both raw chicken and pepper sauce.

      This dish is yummy, healthy, and very versatile. Thank you for posting this! I now have a great dish that I can use to entertain guests (once the pandemic is over), and I can make a large batch of the sauce and refrigerate it so that there is less prep work once I am ready to cook.

      Sincerely, Jordan

      This was fantastic! So thankful to come across it. We made with some frozen stir fry vegetables in place of fresh. So fast, easy, and delicious. Excited to add it to my easy weeknight dinner meals. Thank YOU! I'll be back on to check out some additional recipes here soon!

      A major hit for me and my husband! (The kids not so much, their taste is pretty basic).
      We’ll definitely make this a regular meal in our house!

      Super easy recipe that uses a lot of pantry staples! Also a great way to make ramen noodles healthier with a homemade sauce. Added a bunch of extra veggies, too. Will definitely make again. Thanks!

      I plan on making this soon. My store only had flavored or sesame flavored rice vinegar. Is there a certain flavor you call for? Or should I look for a plain rice vinegar? Thanks

        I think sesame flavored rice vinegar would be great here! I haven't tested it that way, but that would be a nice flavor that would go with the dish.

      Made this for a quick lunch and it was a hit! The hubby is always hesitant when I make chicken dishes but he loved it and went back for thirds! And my picky five-year-old wasn’t afraid of the broccoli so that’s a big plus. The only thing I changed was instead of two tbsp of brown sugar I used two tablespoons of mirin since that is my go to sweetener for Japanese dishes. Thank you for the recipe!

      So good!! I definitely modified it a bit- used non-instant GF ramen noodles (lotus foods brand, the best), used red bell pepper, mushrooms and carrots as a well as broccoli... And added fish sauce, sesame oil, used maple syrup instead of sugar and added a bit of chili paste for a bit of kick. It was divine. My husband and I devoured. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Made with shrimp and was so delicious. A little too sweet, but an easy adjustment for next time. My 10 year old son said it was the best meal he’s had in a long time.

      Super easy and very light. I've made other versions of this that had a thick and salty sauce and this was just right. Very important to mind the ramen noodles and not overcook them. Thank you for a great dinner!

      I made this tonight and it was a hit! I doubled the sauce. I used coconut sugar instead of brown sugar, but I did not double it. I could not resist adding a tablespoon of ginger paste! Organic brown rice ramen from Costco is a great substitute for the cheap stuff (I used 3 bricks). Thanks for this recipe! It will surely be on repeat at my house!

      Delicious recipe!! I used chicken and shrimp with a little less soy sauce. To prevent the noodles from getting soggy/squishy I’d recommend putting the noodles back in the empty pot with a splash of sesame oil directly after straining.
