Need a quick and easy weeknight meal? Look no further than this one pan noodle dish made with quick-cooking instant ramen noodles, tender chicken, and crisp snow peas in a savory sesame garlic sauce.
0 Heat a bowl or pot of water in the microwave or on the stovetop until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in noodles. Set it aside to let the noodles soften (this should take about 5 minutes).
1 While noodles soften, make sauce by whisking together garlic, soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and toasted sesame oil. Set aside.
2 Toss chicken with some salt and black pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper).
3 Return to noodles and check to see if they are tender. (Continue soaking in warm water if not yet tender.) Drain ramen noodles and set aside.
4 Heat 1 Tablespoon cooking oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until chicken is cooked through, 4 minutes. Set chicken aside and return wok to medium-high heat.
5 Add 1 Tablespoon cooking oil to heated wok and then snow peas. Saute until snow peas turn bright green, 1 minutes. Push the snow peas off to the side of the wok to make space in the middle. Pour sauce in the middle of the wok and bring to a simmer.
6 Stir cornstarch into 1 Tablespoon water to make a "slurry". Add slurry to sauce, stirring to combine. Continue cooking sauce until it thickens, 2 minutes more.
7 Remove wok from heat and stir in ramen noodles and chicken. Toss everything to combine.
8 Top with sesame seeds.
9 Serve immediately.
