Instructions

Cook the Noodles:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles according to package directions.
Drain and rinse with cold water to keep them from sticking. Set aside. -
Cook the Chicken and Onion:
In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat olive oil.
Add chicken (if using), diced onion, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and onions are soft. -
Add Garlic:
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. -
Add Sauce and Noodles:
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with Japanese BBQ sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, and butter.
Stir well to coat all the noodles evenly. -
Crisp the Noodles:
Let the noodles sit in the skillet without stirring for 5–7 minutes to get slightly crispy edges, stirring occasionally. -
Add Green Onions:
Stir in sliced green onions and cook another 1–2 minutes.
-
Serve:
Serve hot with optional garnishes like sesame seeds, extra BBQ sauce, or yum yum sauce.
