Ingredients for Gluten Free Chicken Ramen Stir Fry
This recipe can absolutely be adapted to your personal preferences when it comes to the vegetables added or even the choice of meat. The meat can also be left out to make a vegan version of this recipe.
While this recipe calls for mostly simple ingredients that can be found at your local grocery store the one tricky ingredient to find may be the gluten-free noodles. See our FAQ for where we get those! For this recipe you will need:
- sesame oil
- onion
- carrot
- red bell pepper
- broccoli
- gluten-free ramen noodles
- ground chicken
- coconut aminos, gluten free tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
- cornstarch
- chicken broth
- rice vinegar
- brown sugar
- garlic
- sesame seeds

How to Make Gluten Free Chicken Ramen Stir Fry
To start, we’re going to make the sauce. In a small mixing bowl combine the coconut aminos, cornstarch, chicken broth, rice vinegar, brown sugar and garlic. Stir well to combine and set aside for later. Next, chop all of the vegetables: onion, carrots, red bell pepper and broccoli and set aside.
Then, place a large skillet on the stove and heat to medium/ medium high. Once hot, add sesame oil and vegetables. Saute until tender, about 8 minutes.
While vegetables are cooking bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles according to package directions. Once cooked until al dente remove from stove and drain. Set aside. Ramen noodles should still have a slightly chewy texture. If overcooked they will break up a lot once mixed with the vegetable mixture.
Then, once vegetables are cooked add ground chicken and cook thoroughly breaking up into small pieces. Once the meat is cooked through add the sauce mixture and cook over medium heat until slightly thickened. About 5 minutes.
Next, add the noodles to skillet and stir well to coat noodles in sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired and serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
