Chicken Vegetable Ramen Noodles

Ingredients:

2 packages RAMEN noodles
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, minced
200g chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 ¼ cup (315ml) water (plus more if needed)
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 small red pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups cabbage, very finely chopped

For the sauce:
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

2 teaspoons HOISIN sauce
1 tablespoon MIRIN Japanese seasoning

For serving (optional): chopped spring onions or shallots

Directions:

1. Combine the sauce ingredients listed.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 1.5 minutes (until golden brown).
3. Add chicken and cook until the outside turns from pink to white.
4. Add sauce and simmer for 1 minute (until chicken is caramelized).
5. Add chopped carrot and bell pepper. Cook for 1 minute (chicken should be well caramelized at this point).
6. Move chicken and vegetables to one side to make room for pasta. Add water; add pasta to water.
7. When water starts to boil at edges, let pasta sit for 45 seconds, then flip.
8. Let sit for 30 seconds, then mix pasta with chicken and vegetables.
9. Add cabbage, stir-fry for 1 minute (until sauce thickens and pasta is cooked and coated with sauce).
