Instructions

For the Ramen

Prepare the Ramen noodles per the package instructions but do not use the flavoring packet.
Drain and set aside.

For the chicken

In a medium bowl whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar and corn starch until smooth.
Add in the ginger, garlic and red pepper and stir.
Add the chicken to the sauce and marinate in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.

For the stir fry

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the broccoli, onion and whatever long-cooking vegetables you are using and cook until just starting to turn tender, about 3 minutes.
Add softer vegetables and cook another 2 minutes, stirring.
Remove vegetables from the pan.
Add remaining oil to the wok and heat for 1 minute.
Add the chicken and cook, stirring often, until done, about 4 minutes.
Add in the cooked Ramen noodles, stirring to break them up.
Add the cooked vegetables and Japanese Barbecue sauce.
Stir to heat thoroughly.

Notes

You can use any vegetables you want. Start stir frying with the vegetables that are harder and will take longer to cook, then add the softer ones that cook quicker.
