  2. Prepare the Noodles: Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions but without adding the flavor packets. Drain and set aside.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

How to Store Chicken Ramen Stir Fry:

Made a little too much and wondering what to do with the leftovers? Store your stir fry in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge. It’ll be good for about 3-4 days.

How to Reheat Chicken Ramen Stir Fry:

When you’re ready to devour the leftovers (because let’s face it, it’s just as delicious the next day), you can microwave it, ensuring you stir halfway for even heating. Or reheat it on the stove, adding a touch of water or broth to get that saucy consistency back.

Helpful Tips & Substitutions

Can this be Frozen?

Absolutely! If you’re like me and love a good meal prep, then freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers or bags. When the craving hits, thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat. Instant deliciousness. Just remember to consume within 2-3 months for the best flavor.

Can this be made ahead of time?

You betcha! Prepare everything up until the final cooking step, and when you’re ready to eat, simply combine and heat. It’s like your very own DIY dinner kit.

Substitutions & Variations

Okay, here’s where things get fun.

  • Veggies: Like I hinted earlier, almost any veggie can find its home in this stir fry. Think snow peas, mushrooms, or even baby corn. Go wild!
  • Protein: Not a chicken fan? Try beef strips or even tofu for a veggie version.
  • Noodles: While ramen is the star here, feel free to experiment with other noodles like udon or rice noodles. Who said cooking isn’t an adventure?

Helpful Cooking Notes

  • When cooking chicken, ensure it’s diced uniformly. This way, it cooks evenly. No one likes a mix of overcooked and undercooked, right?
  • A hot skillet is the secret to a good stir fry. It ensures everything gets that lovely sear without turning into a soggy mess.
  • Always taste before serving. Sometimes, you might need a dash more soy or a sprinkle more ginger.
