Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Chicken Ramen Stir Fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure the stir fry is cooled to room temperature before sealing to prevent condensation and sogginess.
Reheating: To reheat, place the stir fry in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent sticking. Stir frequently until heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave it in 1-minute intervals, stirring in between until hot.
Serving: Serve the Chicken Ramen Stir Fry hot, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. It pairs well with a side of pickled vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
Chef’s Tip: For added depth of flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for 15-30 minutes before cooking. This enhances the taste and makes the chicken even more succulent.
