Ingredients

  • For the sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili sauce (optional, for extra heat)
  • 2 tablespoons mirin or Chinese cooking wine

For the stir-fry:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 500 grams ground chicken
  • 2 packets ramen noodles (uncooked)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup spinach, kale, or bok choy, chopped
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 cup sliced green onion
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)

Method

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, chili sauce (if using), and mirin. Set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the ground chicken to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
  4. Push the chicken to the side of the pan and add the uncooked ramen noodles to the centre. Pour the water over the noodles and cover the pan. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Uncover the pan and stir to combine the noodles with the chicken and sauce. Cover and cook for another minute.
  6. Stir in the spinach, kale, or bok choy and bean sprouts. Cook for 1 more minute, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
