Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 packages instant ramen noodles
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • ½ cup cilantro
  • 2 stalks green onions

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, toss with 1 tbsp soy sauce and let marinate for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Coat the chicken pieces in 0.5 cup cornstarch, shaking off excess. Heat 0.25 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Fry the chicken in a single layer, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cook the 2 packages ramen noodles according to package directions, then drain and rinse with cold water.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce with 2 tbsp water. Toss the noodles with this sauce.

  6. 6

    Divide the noodles between two bowls. Top with the crispy chicken, 2 cups bean sprouts, 0.5 cup cilantro, and sliced green onions. Drizzle with extra sauce if desired.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, mixing everything together before eating.
