Ramen noodles are tossed with seared chicken and crisp-tender green beans in a glossy sweet soy and chili sauce, brightened with a squeeze of fresh lime. Chili flakes add a customizable kick, while roughly chopped peanuts scattered on top provide a satisfying crunch. This bold, balanced bowl comes together in under 30 minutes.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Bring a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings) of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim green beans if necessary. Quarter lime. Roughly chop peanuts. (TIP: For added flavor, toast peanuts before chopping. Add peanuts to a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until toasted, 2-4 minutes. Season with salt; cook, stirring, 1 minute more.)

Cook Noodles
2
  • Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 1-2 minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water, at least 30 seconds.

Cook Chicken & Green Beans
3
  • While noodles cook, open package of chicken*. Drain any excess liquid.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and green beans; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through and green beans are crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes. (TIP: If your green beans aren’t bright green after 2-3 minutes, cover the pan to help them cook!)

  • Remove pan from heat. Add sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and as many chili flakes as you like (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4); stir to combine. If sauce is too sweet, add a splash of water. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Finish & Serve
4
  • To pan with chicken and green beans, add drained noodles and juice from one lime wedge (juice from two lime wedges for 4 servings); toss to coat. Taste and season with salt.

  • Divide chicken ramen between shallow bowls and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Some found it mild; consider adding extra Thai chili sauce or more glaze for bolder taste 🌶️.
  • Ease of prep: Balancing chicken and broccoli cook times can be tricky; try covering the pan to speed up broccoli.
  • Suggestions: For more moisture and flavor, increase the amount of sauce or glaze when tossing with noodles.
