Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Ramen Noodles

- Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
Step 4: Stir-Fry the Vegetables
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Add the bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and green onions, and stir for another minute until fragrant.
Step 5: Combine Everything
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables.
- Pour in the prepared sauce and stir well to coat everything evenly.
