Equipment
- Always pan or other deep skillet
- Whisk
- measuring cups / spoons
- Tongs
- Meat masher
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp oil
- 1 lbs ground chi8cken
- 1 small onion thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper sliced
- 1 bag frozen broccoli 12 oz
- 1 cup edamame
- 2 packages instant ramen noodles
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup green onion diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro (or other herb) diced
Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 packet chicken ramen seasoning
- 1/2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp cornstarch or tapioca flour
Instructions
- Heat a skillet to medium heat and add oil. Once warm, place the ground chicken in the skillet and break apart. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, then add frozen broccoli, sliced onions, and sliced bell pepper into the skillet.
- Whisk together all of the ingredients to the sauce other than the cornstarch. In a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon of water to cornstarch and whisk together so it’s a slurry. Then pour it into the sauce.
- After the vegetables are wilted and ground chicken is almost fully cooked, push the chicken/vegetables to one side and place two packets of uncooked ramen into the skillet.
- Pour the broth and ¼ of the sauce into the pan, cover the skillet with a lid, and allow the noodles to cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Once noodles are al dente, add in edamame and the rest of the sauce. Stir so the sauce evenly coats noodles.
- Garnish with fresh green onion, diced herbs, and chili flakes (optional). Enjoy!
Notes
Use any frozen veggie in place of the broccoli.
TIP: Leave the ramen blocks whole and allow the broth to cook them down and break them apart. This will ensure long, slurpable cooked noodles instead of short little pieces of instant noodles.
This dish holds up GREAT as leftovers. Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
