Ingredients
- 2 blocks instant ramen noodles (flavor packets discarded or saved for another use)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (plus more for pan)
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces (or firm tofu, pressed and cubed; or 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined)
- 4 cups chopped mixed vegetables (e.g., broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, snap peas, shredded carrots)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1–2 tsp sriracha, to taste
- Optional garnishes: chopped green onions, sesame seeds, lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Break Noodles: Break the dry instant ramen noodle blocks into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Make Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the broken ramen noodles, chicken (or protein of choice), and sturdy vegetables (like broccoli, bell peppers) to the bowl with the sauce. Toss until everything is thoroughly coated.
- Roast First Half: Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan (use two if needed). Roast for 15 minutes.
- Add Remaining Veggies/Shrimp & Continue Roasting: Remove the pan from the oven, stir everything well. If using quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas or shrimp, add them now and toss. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until noodles are golden and crispy, protein is cooked through, and vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Garnish & Serve: Remove from oven. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime juice if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
