Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Chicken: Begin by marinating the chicken thighs in a bowl with soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, sesame oil, ground ginger, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Boil water in a pot and cook your ramen noodles according to package instructions until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Stir-Fry Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, chicken broth, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic powder, and sriracha.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Stir-fry the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same wok, add diced onion, minced garlic, and additional ginger. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Add the Vegetables: Add bell peppers, carrots, broccoli florets, and snow peas to the wok. Stir-fry for approximately 3-5 minutes.
  7. Pour in the Sauce: Pour your prepared stir-fry sauce over the mixture in the wok and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Combine the Noodles: Gently add the cooked ramen noodles to the wok, tossing them with the chicken and vegetables.
