ingredients
1 package ramen noodles, unbroken, seasoning packet reserved for another use
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound your favorite frozen stir-fry vegetable (thawed)
1 pound cubed cooked white chicken
directions
Bring a pan of water to a boil and add the entire brick of ramen noodles (unbroken). Cook for 2 minutes then drain off the water and set aside.
Meanwhile, combine the teriyaki sauce with the cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant and softened but not browned.
Add the thawed vegetables and cubed chicken to the garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
Stir in the drained noodles. Stir in the sauce and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until the sauce is heated through and begins to thicken.
Serve the chicken teriyaki with ramen noodles immediately.
recipe tips
Cook the ramen noodles just until al dente to keep them from becoming mushy.
Mix the teriyaki sauce with the cornstarch thoroughly to avoid lumps.
Cook the garlic just until fragrant to avoid burning.
Try different protein options like thinly sliced beef or diced tofu.
Remember, the key to a great stir-fry is quick cooking at high heat.
common recipe questions
Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh vegetables. Just chop them into bite-sized pieces and adjust the cooking time as needed.
What can I substitute for teriyaki sauce?
You can use soy sauce mixed with a bit of honey or brown sugar as a substitute.
Is it necessary to use cornstarch?
Cornstarch thickens the sauce, but you can omit it for a thinner sauce or use flour as an alternative.
Can I make this dish with uncooked chicken?
Yes, you can use uncooked chicken. Just cook it thoroughly in the skillet before adding the vegetables.
Can I add other ingredients to this stir-fry?
Yes, you can add ingredients like ginger, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
How should I store leftover stir-fry?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet, wok, or microwave.
Can I prepare this stir-fry ahead of time?
The beauty of a stir-fry is that it is quick cooking. But, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and cook just before serving.
Is there a way to make this dish spicier?
Add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha to the stir-fry for more heat.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I agree with not having to used cooked chicken as per a previous review. I add uncooked and it works just fine. I am almost (I said ALMOST) embarrassed to admit I use ramen noodles in cooking but this recipe is a winner and so easy and so good. I make this or a variation of it at least once a week (try with shrimp or pork!)

I don't use cooked chicken, just cubed raw and cook it first then add the garlic and veggies. It's cooked through by the time the dish is done. Super easy recipe and one I throw together quite often.
