Healthy Chicken Ramen Noodle Stir Fry

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This quick and easy Chicken Ramen Noodle Stir Fry is one of our favorite weeknight meals!  By using brown rice ramen noodles and a homemade Kung Pao sauce, this dinner is gluten free, dairy free, 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers approved!  This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.

You probably don’t remember, but I teased this recipe months ago on social and in my Facebook groups.  I really thought I would get it out right away and then, well, I didn’t.  #mylife

Anyway, I freaking love ramen noodles and since discovering these Gluten Free Brown Rice Noodles, I am always looking for ways to use them like in my Instant Pot Ramen Noodle Soup, or my 21 Day Fix Ramen Noodle Salad, or as a side with my Instant Pot Asian Pork Tenderloin.

Lotus Foods Millet and Brown Rice Ramen in a bowl of water on a marble background.

And now I am using them in this quick and easy Stir Fry Chicken Ramen Noodle Dish!  It really couldn’t be more simple!  I just soaked my Ramen Noodles in hot tap water for a bit while I sautéed a bunch of veggies.

 

Skillet with bell peppers, broccoli and onions on a marble backdrop.

I chose bell peppers, onions, garlic, and broccoli for this, but you can use your favorite veggies…go ahead and do you, my friend.  Oh, but don’t forget to use tons of fresh ginger.

And then I sautéed up some diced up chicken.  Finally, I made a quick Kung Pao Sauce (with more fresh ginger) and added it all together.

I kept the Kung Pao sauce mild and added extra chili paste to my own bowl because I was really hoping my kids would try it…my picky son did and actually LOVED it.  He picked out the veggies 🤦‍♀️ but listen, I am gonna take what I can get these days.

Are Ramen Noodles 21 Day Fix approved?

Yes, but only brown rice ramen noodles.  And if your noodles come with a seasoning packet, throw it out!  #sodiumpolicehere

Where Can I Find Brown Rice Ramen Noodles?

I have two favorite brands of Gluten Free Brown Rice Ramen Noodles – first, I love  Lotus Foods Organic Millet & Brown Rice Ramen and I have been able to find them at all my local grocery stores, as well as at Costco!

If you aren’t able to find that brand, I also love King Soba Brown Rice Ramen which you can get for a good price on Amazon – but you have to buy in bulk.  In my world, bulk ramen is a good problem to have.

What is Coconut Aminos?

Very simply, Coconut Aminos is a gluten and soy free soy-sauce alternative.  It has a very similar flavor profile as soy sauce, but it has a TON of health benefits, as well.  I wrote a whole post on it – click here to read it! 

I’m not sure I like Kung Pao Sauce, is there another sauce I can use for this Ramen Noodle Stir Fry?

First of all, this Kung Pao Sauce is amazing!  It’s the same one from this 21 Day Fix Kung Pao Cauliflower and I loooooove it.  But you can also use my wildly popular Asian Sauce from my Asian Chicken (and pork, and steak, lol).

Description

This quick and easy Chicken Ramen Noodle Stir Fry is one of my favorite weeknight meals!  By using Brown Rice Ramen Noodles and a homemade Kung Pao sauce, this dinner is gluten free, dairy free, 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers approved!


Ingredients

Scale

Kung Pao Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 tsp tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1.5 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2.5 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoons chili garlic paste or sub sriracha, to taste (I used 1/2 tsp and then added more at the end to my bowl)
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • 2 tsp of grated or minced ginger
  • 1 tsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch

Chicken and Veggie Ramen Stir Fry

  • 2 brown rice ramen noodle cakes
  • hot tap water
  • 3 tsp olive oil or coconut oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups of fresh broccoli florets, cut into small pieces
  • 2 cups of sliced bell peppers (I used 2 green peppers)
  • 1/2 cup of sliced yellow onions
  • 1–2 tablespoons of water
  • 1 lb chicken tenderloins, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of ginger, minced
  • salt

Instructions

Place the two ramen noodle cakes in a bowl and cover with very hot tap water – not boiling, just very hot.  Set aside.

Whisk together ingredients for the sauce and mix well.

In a large skillet, add 1 1/2 tsp of oil, then add your stir fry veggies cooking over medium low heat until tender.  If necessary, add 1-2 T of water to help the veggies soften.  Remove veggies from pan.

Add the remaining oil to the pan and sauté chicken until cooked through.  Season with salt, then add in garlic and ginger, cooking for a minute or until fragrant.  Add veggies back to pan.

Drain noodles and gently pull them apart. Add noodles to the pan with the chicken and veggies.  Top with sauce and cook everything together for 1-2 minutes or until hot and the sauce begins to thicken.

Divide the skillet into 4 equal servings.

Top with additional chili paste if desired!


Notes

21 Day Fix Containers:  1 Red, 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1.3 teaspoons, 2 sweetener teaspoons

    I am astounded that my family liked this one, especially with all the “visible” veggies, but we all enjoyed it! Thank you so much! I have to admit I was sad at first because it didn’t involve the Instant Pot and I had to be in the kitchen cooking for longer than I wanted, but then came a great idea. The veggies can cook in my bigger IP while the chicken is cooking in the smaller IP. I know and freely admit to having an obsession with the IP! Thank you, Nancylynn, for another great recipe!

    Made this last night, my entire family ate it, and truly enjoyed it! Thank you! It was delicious.
    I did use the Top Ramen noodles without the seasoning packet because I was at Aldi shopping and didn’t have any other ramen choices at the time.

    This was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I’m so excited that there is a good, healthy substitute for Chinese food! Also, the ramen was amazing! I couldn’t tell the difference between this and normal ramen noodles. Usually healthy substitutes have a strange texture, but this was perfection!

    Can I make this with brown rice noodles instead? How would I tweak the recipe? It sounds amazing. The ramen cakes linked are $30+ on Amazon.

      Whoa! I will work on a different link for those. But in the meantime these ramen cakes have been popping up at other local places like Wegman’s, Whole Foods, and I’ve seen them at some Giant stores locally. Thrive Market has them for delivery too!

      It’s $31 but that’s for a total of 12 rice “cakes”, so about $1.25 per cake and you use 2 in this recipe. So hopefully they will keep awhile!

        SORRY, it’s actually 2 packs of 12 so 24 total “cakes”. Hit submit too fast, lol.

      You totally can use brown rice noodles and just cook them according to the directions on the package. Then, add them to the stir fry when the directions say – it should work out great!
