  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Protein & Aromatics

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 bunch green onions, white parts finely minced and green parts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

Sauce

  • 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

Noodles & Garnish

  • 9 oz ramen or rice noodles, cooked according to package instructions
  • Sesame seeds for topping
  • Red pepper flakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Cook Ground Chicken and Onions: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the ground chicken and the white parts of the green onions. Break up the chicken using a spatula and cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is no longer pink, ensuring even browning.
  2. Add Aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, and green parts of the green onions to the pan. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is fragrant and the aromatics are softened.
  3. Prepare and Add Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce, light brown sugar, low-sodium soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. Pour this sauce mixture into the skillet with the cooked chicken and onions. Then, add the cooked ramen or rice noodles. Toss everything together and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the noodles to warm through and become bubbly while coating them evenly with the sauce.
  4. Season and Garnish: Taste the noodles and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Transfer the noodles to serving bowls and garnish with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes according to your spice preference. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Ground Chicken Sweet Chili Noodles.
