One other Ramen Noodle Recipe!
The recognition of the Asian Beef Ramen Noodles from final month caught me without warning! Although in fact, being of Japanese background, it makes me very completely happy {that a} ramen noodle recipe was so standard…… 😇
Given how a lot you appreciated the bottom beef / mince one, it was inevitable {that a} chicken model would come out quickly….. And right here it’s!
Ramen Noodles – or any Prompt Noodles
I’ve been making variations of this Chicken Vegetable Ramen Noodles and the Beef model for extra years than I care to confess (as a result of a lady’s age ought to stay a thriller. All the time.)
Whereas I’m partial to creating this with ramen noodles, it additionally works with different immediate noodles, similar to as Maggi 2 Minute Noodles. I’ve made this with just about each sort of ramen noodles and immediate noodles offered at on a regular basis grocery shops right here in Australia. Primarily as a result of I’d normally get no matter was on sale on the time!
It doesn’t matter what flavour the packet says it’s as a result of we toss the soup seasoning packet and every other mysterious foil pouches that you just discover (dried “meat” anybody?😳).
Are ramen noodles dangerous for you?
If consumed within the meant method of plonk-and-simmer utilizing the offered seasoning combine, then no it’s not a nicely rounded meal by any stretch of the creativeness. Excessive in sodium with little to no dietary worth.
Nevertheless! Once we toss the seasoning combine, make our personal sauce and jam pack it with greens, you CAN remodel ramen noodles right into a nutritious, nicely rounded meal!
Hidden Veg to the Max!
And but, take a look at all of the greens on this ramen noodle recipe. There’s only a measly little cup of chicken, and lumps and lumps of greens!
OK, so “mounds and lumps” is a slight exaggeration. However there’s alot! In all probability 6 occasions extra greens than there’s chicken.
However they appear to principally disappear as soon as cooked as a result of they’re “noodle formed” greens in order that they type of mix in. It’s a very good technique to get tons of greens into veggie-adverse folks (little or massive). 😉
After precise actual Japanese Ramen Noodle Soup?
That’s my mom’s area on RecipeTin Japan, the house of genuine Japanese recipes. Right here is her Straightforward Ramen Noodle Soup or go all out and make your personal home made Ramen Broth!
A fast, one pot dinner concept
This Chicken Vegetable Ramen Noodle recipe is made the identical method because the Asian Beef Ramen Noodles – in a single pot!
I don’t do that to save lots of on washing up. That’s a facet profit.
The explanation I prefer to prepare dinner the noodles in the identical skillet because the greens and chicken is as a result of the gluten within the noodles helps thicken the sauce so it coats the noodles properly. Not like just about each different stir fried noodle recipe I’ve shared, the sauce for this recipe doesn’t have cornflour / cornstarch or every other thickener. So I exploit the gluten within the noodles that releases when it cooks to assist thicken the sauce. 🙂
Nearly foolproof!
One other good factor about this recipe is that it’s nearly foolproof.
Prompt noodles in all varieties are principally designed to be dummy proof (assume school college students!). The noodles arise fantastic even when cooked for method longer than they need to be. If it’s undercooked, simply add extra water.

Instructions

- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 1 1/2 minutes until starting to go golden.
- Add chicken and cook just until the outside mostly changes from pink to white.
- Add Sauce and cook for 1 minute until chicken is quite caramelised.

Notes
1. Instant or Ramen Noodles – Any brand or type is fine here, though avoid the extra large ramen packets because you’ll struggle to fit two in the pan (you could break them). You can also buy just the noodle cakes in larger packets ie no seasoning.
Feel free to sub with fresh or other dried noodles (rice or wheat), but don’t try this one pot cooking method. Just prepare the noodles per the packet, use about 2 packed cups and toss through the cooked chicken and veg with a splash of water.
2. Chicken thighs are my preferred chicken cut for this recipe because they are juicier so they caramelised better. But this recipe works great with breast and tenderloin too. If you want to use ground/mince chicken, use this recipe.
3. Dark Soy Sauce has a darker colour and more intense flavour than all purpose and light soy sauce. If you can’t find it, any soy sauce is fine here but the sauce colour will be lighter.
4. Oyster Sauce – I’ve noticed vegetarian oyster sauce in the supermarkets lately!
5. Mirin – a sweet Japanese cooking sake that is a very common ingredient in Japanese cooking, also used widely by other Asian cuisines. Found in large supermarkets here in Australia, Asian section, or at Asian grocery stores.
Can sub with Chinese cooking wine, dry sherry. Otherwise, use 1/2 cup water + 3/4 cup low sodium chicken stock/broth (instead of 1 1/4 cups water) and skip the Mirin.
6. Total cook time for noodles should be per packet. Add a touch more water if noodles need longer.
7. SCALING recipe up (click servings and slide) – use a larger skillet. Can break noodle cakes if necessary to fit.
8. Nutrition per serving. Because of the volume of vegetables in this recipe, it should serve 3 even though only 2 noodle cakes are used. Sodium can be reduced by 175mg per serve by using low sodium soy sauce.
