Cooking Steps
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
-
Roughly chop peanuts. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper. Zest and quarter lime (for 4 servings, zest one lime and quarter both). Roughly chop cilantro.
- Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken and sesame ginger crunch; season with pepper. Toss to coat. Set aside until ready to use in Step 5.
-
Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes. Drain; set aside until ready to use in Step 6.
-
While noodles cook, briefly heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
-
Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for peanuts over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and bell pepper; season with salt and pepper.
-
Cook, stirring, until tender and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Transfer veggies to a second plate.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
-
Stir in veggies, sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, ¼ cup water, and 1 TBSP butter (½ cup water and 2 TBSP butter for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until well coated, 1-2 minutes; remove from heat.
-
Add drained noodles, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of lime zest to pan with chicken mixture; toss to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
-
Divide noodle stir-fry between shallow bowls. Top with peanuts, scallion greens, cilantro, and crispy fried onions. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The sweet soy glaze and sesame ginger crunch deliver bold, satisfying flavor 🍲; some found the dish a touch too sweet and appreciated the lime juice to balance it out.
- Ease of prep: The recipe uses multiple pots, pans, and plates, making it more hands-on than a typical stir-fry — plan for extra time and dishes.
- Suggestions: Cook the noodles last or keep them separate until just before serving, as they can turn gummy if they sit too long; add extra vegetables like broccoli or water chestnuts to bulk up the dish.
- Leftovers: One reviewer doubled the sauce and added extra ramen noodles specifically to have generous leftovers, and said it worked beautifully.
- Toppings: Don't skip the toasted peanuts and crispy fried onions — reviewers consistently praised the crunch and said the toppings really complete the dish.
