Ingredients
Scale
Sauce and Marinade
- 3 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp sriracha, plus more for serving (optional)
- 2 tsp chicken bouillon
Protein
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, sliced crosswise into 1/2“-thick pieces
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
- 1 tbsp finely grated peeled ginger
Vegetables
- 1 bunch scallions, cut into 1” pieces
- 1 lb broccoli, cut into 1/2” florets
- 8 oz snow peas, trimmed
Other
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 (3-oz.) packages ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
- Toasted sesame seeds, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Sauce: Arrange a rack in the upper third of your oven and preheat the broiler. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, oyster sauce, pure maple syrup, sriracha, and chicken bouillon until well combined to create the sauce.
- Marinate Chicken: Place the sliced chicken in a medium bowl and toss with the garlic, ginger, and 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce mixture, coating evenly. Set aside the remaining sauce for later use.
- Preheat Water and Toss Vegetables: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil to cook the ramen noodles later. On a large sheet pan, combine the scallions, broccoli florets, snow peas, vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Toss the vegetables until evenly coated with oil and seasoning. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces over the vegetables in a single layer.
- Broil Chicken and Vegetables: Place the sheet pan under the broiler and cook, watching carefully, until the chicken turns golden brown and vegetables begin to soften but stay crisp-tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Cook and Rinse Noodles: Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles in the boiling salted water according to the package instructions (usually 3 to 4 minutes). Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.
- Add Noodles and Sauce to Sheet Pan: Add the drained noodles and the reserved sauce to the sheet pan with the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together gently to combine and spread the mixture out into an even layer.
- Broil Until Crispy: Return the sheet pan to the broiler and cook until the noodles develop crispy edges and the broccoli is nicely crisp-tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. For extra crispy noodles, toss and spread the noodles into an even layer again, then broil an additional 3 to 5 minutes more.
- Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Add more sriracha if desired before serving. Enjoy your flavorful sheet-pan crispy ramen immediately.
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for more tenderness and flavor, but breasts work well too.
- Keep a close eye on the broiler as food can burn quickly.
- Discard the ramen seasoning packets; this recipe uses its own flavorful sauce.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute chicken with firm tofu and use vegetable bouillon instead of chicken bouillon, and omit oyster sauce or replace it with a vegetarian alternative.
- For a spicier dish, add extra sriracha or serve with chili flakes.
- Make sure to rinse the cooked noodles with cold water to prevent them from sticking together before roasting.
- Adjust salt to taste since the soy sauce and bouillon already contain sodium.
