With the busy spring season here, quick and easy one pot meals are a lifesaver during the busy week. My family is crazy about any dish with teriyaki sauce so we are always trying to incorporate those sweet and savory Asian-inspired flavors into any meal we can.
Since these Teriyaki Chicken Zoodles, Teriyaki Rice with Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken Noodles and Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken are a few of your favorites, I have a feeling you guys are going to love this Teriyaki Chicken Ramen stir-fry that my kids have been obsessed over too.
It has all the delicious flavors you love about the popular Japanese takeout dish, pan-fried with some comforting ramen noodles. Those super cheap packets of instant ramen noodles you remember from college are a secret weapon for fast dinners. We usually toss out the seasoning packets they come with and just throw the noodles into a hot pan.
And this Teriyaki Chicken Ramen is one of those dishes that come together in a flash! Only 25 minutes and super simple to customize with your favorite vegetables. I love tossing in whatever leftover veggies I have lingering in the fridge.
For this recipe, I used broccoli, red bell peppers, carrots and edamame beans but I think green beans, bok choy or some broccolini would be amazing in here as well.
HOW DO YOU MAKE TERIYAKI CHICKEN RAMEN?
- Start off by cooking the ramen noodles in a [amazon_textlink asin=’B01IG67XDG’ text=’large wok’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’lifmadswe09-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’a5ba627a-3d00-11e8-90fa-ab463e919253′] or skillet. Drain and set aside on a plate. The great thing about ramen noodles is that they cook up super quick in about 5 minutes. You can also use some [amazon_textlink asin=’B00MXRK24W’ text=’fresh ramen noodles’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’lifmadswe09-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’ea6a285a-3d00-11e8-b594-39380b718750′] if you are able to find them. I usually get my fresh ramen noodles in the International aisle of our supermarket or the local Asian market.

- To make the sweet and sticky sauce, you’re going to whisk together some low sodium soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar (or low carb sweetener) and a little bit of cornstarch to thicken it up.
- After you brown the chicken, transfer to a plate. Saute the vegetables and cook until they are just crisp tender. Add the sauce, chicken and ramen noodles back to the pan and toss to coat well.
Serve hot with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
HOW CAN I KEEP THIS DISH LOW CARB OR CONVERT TO KETO?
You can swap out the ramen noodles for zucchini noodles like my Teriyaki Chicken Zoodles , leave out the carrots, edamame, corn starch and replace the sugar with a low carb sweetener instead.
This Teriyaki Chicken Ramen noodles also makes great leftovers the next door. Or even a great Sunday meal prep dish for your school or work lunchboxes.
