Directions

For the Sauce:

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and white pepper. Set aside.

For the Chicken, Noodles, and Vegetables:

In a 3 to 4-quart saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a low boil over medium-high heat. Add the ramen noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until they begin to soften. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set the noodles aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a 10 to 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, mushrooms, and onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions and peppers are slightly tender.
Add the broccoli and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the broccoli turns a vibrant green.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine. Turn off the heat.
Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet, then pour the sauce over the mixture. Use tongs to toss everything together, making sure the noodles are well-coated in the sauce.
Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve while hot and enjoy!
