This is a favorite recipe from my childhood. It is an easy Chinese/stir-fry dish and won’t require you to pay for take-out. It is similar to chicken lo mein.
Combine chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Blend well. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok/large frying pan over high heat. Add chicken and stir fry until white and firm.
Add onion and mushrooms. Stir fry until veggies are soft.
Boil ramen according to package directions in a medium saucepan. I usually break up the ramen noodles a little bit before putting them in the saucepan. Drain. (Discard the seasoning packets or save them for a future use. You do not need them here.)
Add to chicken mixture the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, cooked ramen, and sugar.
Add cashews.
Combine remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup soy sauce in a small bowl. Stir this into the chicken/cashew mixture.
Cover and steam for one minute.
Uncover and stir until sauce is thickened. You can add more soy sauce if you want more of that flavor.

Made this tonight, used rice instead of the noodles. Turned out pretty well. Will probably make it again.

I made this with pork (my husband and I bought a 1/2 of a pig), also I exchanges the mushrooms for water chestnut slices and it was absolutely fantastic! I will be making this again. The pork actually tased like beef in the receipe…weird…but yummy!

I made this with shrimp because I already had another chicken meal planned for this week, and I am a freak who can’t eat the same meat twice in a week – aside from lunch leftovers, haha. It was delicious! My husband was really doubtful when I threw the ramen noodles into the cart, but he declared it a big success. Thanks for the recipe
