Ingredients

For the Peanut Sauce:

⅓ cup peanut butter
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp water (to thin, if needed)

For the Stir Fry:

2 packs Ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 tbsp peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
1 cup bell peppers, sliced
½ cup shredded carrots
½ cup snap peas
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
¼ cup chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Sauce:
In a medium bowl, whisk together all peanut sauce ingredients. Set aside.
Marinate the Chicken:
Use ⅓ cup of the peanut sauce to coat the diced chicken. Let it marinate while you prep the other ingredients.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tbsp peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 7 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Stir fry the bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.
Cook the Noodles:
Meanwhile, cook the Ramen noodles according to package directions (without the seasoning packet). Drain and set aside.
Combine Everything:
Add the cooked chicken and noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the remaining peanut sauce and toss everything together until well-coated.
Serve & Garnish:
Garnish with chopped green onions and peanuts if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Tips & Variations:

Noodles: Maruchan, Top Ramen, or any other instant Ramen works well. You can also use ½ lb of spaghetti noodles instead.
Protein Options: Swap chicken for beef, shrimp, pork, or tofu.
Vegetable Variations: Try mushrooms, green beans, bean sprouts, broccoli, or cauliflower.
Broth Alternative: You can replace water with chicken broth for added depth of flavor.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. To prevent mushy noodles, avoid overcooking them before adding them to the stir fry.
