How We Love to Serve It
I love to serve Chicken Ramen Stir Fry right from the skillet while it’s hot. We often add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for an extra crunch and flavor. It pairs well with a side salad or some spring rolls.
A Few Tips For Success
To make this dish shine, ensure your skillet is hot before adding the chicken. This way, you get a nice sear. Do not overcrowd the pan. If your skillet is small, cook in batches to avoid steaming the chicken and veggies.
Saving Some For Later
This stir fry can be stored in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. Just make sure it cools completely before placing it in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
