30 ml rice vinegar
06 -
60 ml honey
07 -
80 ml low-salt soy sauce
→ Stir Fry Base
08 -
255 g packs of ramen noodles (3 packs, toss out the flavor packets)
09 -
2 bell peppers, medium size, cut in strips (go for colorful ones!)
10 -
60 ml water left from boiling noodles
11 -
400 g bagged coleslaw mix
12 -
450 g ground chicken
13 -
10 ml olive oil
→ Garnish
14 -
Drizzle of hot sauce
15 -
A handful of sesame seeds
16 -
Chopped green onions
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Spoon everything into your bowls. Sprinkle on those green onions, sesame seeds, and maybe a bit more hot sauce if you love heat. Pop any extras into the fridge in a sealed box and eat within 4 days.
02 -
Drain noodles real well, then toss them into the skillet along with the chicken and veggies. Stir and toss with some tongs or big spoons till it’s all coated evenly and looks awesome.
03 -
Take out about 60 ml (that’s a quarter cup) of the hot noodle water and pour it into the skillet.
04 -
Drop the ramen into your bubbling pot and cook for around 3 minutes, or check your package for details. While that happens, you can stir the stir fry one more time and throw a lid over it.
05 -
Toss in the coleslaw and the bell pepper strips. Give it all a good mix, then cover for about 2 minutes so the cabbage can soften.
06 -
Drizzle your sauce onto the cooked meat. Mix things around so the chicken soaks up all that flavor. Keep the heat medium and let it bubble gently.
07 -
As the chicken browns, set a big pot of water on the stove and crank up the heat so it gets to a hard boil.
08 -
Warm up 10 ml olive oil in your skillet on medium. Drop in the ground chicken and break it up as it cooks. Keep stirring till there’s no pink left, about 7 to 8 minutes.
09 -
Grab a bowl and stir together soy sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic, ginger, a splash of sesame oil, and Sriracha. Whisk till it’s all smooth, then set it aside for now.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Cooking time for ramen can be a bit different by brand, so glance at the package so you don’t overdo it or leave it too chewy.
02 -
Pair this meal with some sides and you could definitely stretch it to 6 people.
