Method
- Open the packets of ramen noodles and discard the flavor packets. Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water for about 3 minutes until they’re al dente. You want them just cooked so they can absorb all the delicious flavors later. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add the bite-sized pieces of chicken. Cook until the chicken is starting to brown on the outside—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes. You want to hear that sizzle! Make sure to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Next, it’s time to add the flavor boosters. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, Sriracha, and cocktail peanuts to the skillet. Stir everything together, allowing the chicken to absorb all those wonderful flavors. You’ll notice the sauce starting to bubble and thicken, which is exactly what we want.
- Reduce the heat and let everything simmer for about 5 minutes. This is where the magic happens! The brown sugar will caramelize slightly, and the sauce will thicken, coating the chicken beautifully.
- Finally, add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together gently, ensuring the noodles are well coated in the sauce. You want every bite to be bursting with flavor!
- Before serving, sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top. They’ll add a fresh crunch and make this dish look extra appealing. Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious Spicy Sriracha Chicken Noodles!
