Let's cook.

01

Step 1

In a big bowl, toss the chicken strips with ginger garlic paste, pepper, salt, chili powder, and cornstarch until everything is well coated. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes until it’s nice and golden. Set it aside.

Step 2

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan, add the ramen noodles, and cook for 2-3 minutes until they’re just done. Drain the noodles and set them aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, mustard paste, soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, and the ramen flavoring powder. Pour this sauce over the cooked noodles and give it a good stir so everything is evenly coated.

Serving ideas

Serve this meal with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the zesty flavors. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley on top can enhance the freshness. It also pairs well with a light white wine or iced tea.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the chicken tender. Avoid overcooking when reheating, as the noodles can become soft.
