Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Toss well to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. This helps tenderize the chicken and adds a subtle flavor.

Prepare the Ramen Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the instant ramen noodles and cook according to package directions, usually about 2-3 minutes, until just tender but still slightly firm (al dente). Do not overcook, as they will continue to soften in the stir fry. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set aside.

Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sriracha (or chili garlic sauce), 1/4 cup chicken broth or water, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Set aside.

Stir-Fry the Aromatics and Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of the neutral cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and spread it out in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the same skillet. Add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, red bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and bright in color. You want them cooked but still with a slight bite.

Combine and Thicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Give the prepared sauce a quick whisk to ensure the cornstarch hasn't settled, then pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

Add the Ramen: Add the drained ramen noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together gently until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and incorporated with the chicken and vegetables. Cook for an additional minute, just to heat the noodles through.

Serve: Divide the Chicken Ramen Stir Fry among serving bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
