- 9
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 carrots
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1⁄2 green cabbage
- 1⁄2 red cabbage
- peanut oil
- 1⁄4 cup chicken stock
- 3 ounces your favorite flavor ramen noodles, uncooked and crumbled (I used Maruchan Oriental)
directions
- Cut chicken in thin julienne strips and marinate in sesame oil.
- In the meantime, cut carrots and bell pepper in julienne strips. Remove the tough outer leaves from the cabbages and shred in thin strips.
- Heat a small amount of peanut oil in a wok or large skillet on high; add chicken and stir fry until just cooked - a tad underdone is better than overdone as you'll be returning it to the hot wok later; remove to serving dish.
- Heat a little more peanut oil in wok and add carrots, red pepper and both cabbages. Stir fry for a minute or so and add stock plus seasoning packet from ramen noodles. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until cabbage is tender, stirring frequently. Add in chicken and crumbled uncooked ramen noodles; cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to mix and heat. Remove from burner and serve hot.

We enjoyed this recipe and plan to make it again. Super budget friendly and I have to give 5 stars to the name of the recipe as well! Loved it! -
This is great and very healthy! I used half the seasoning packet and It still had flavor. I added some mushrooms since I had them in the fridge and they needed to be used. I might even try bean sprouts or water chestnuts next time. It was great! Thanks for posting. -
This is difficult to rate. It didn't knock my socks off, but it is colorful, healthy, tasty and crunchy--so it gets the five stars. I used about half the seasoning packet and suspect that next time I will forego that and just add soy sauce. I agree that the amount of cabbage seems huge, but it does cook down a lot. Nevertheless, I think that for the size of cabbages we get in America (excessively large), a quarter each of red and green would be better. Thanks for creating this dish! -
Very tasty and quick to put together. I didn't use very much of the packet seasoning, the dish was flavorful without it. Thanks for a very creative recipe.

This was very tasty! The only different thing I did was cook the ramen by itself (not crumbled) then add it to the rest of ingredients. And the leftovers were just as good the next day. I agree -- will make this many, many more times. Thanks.
