Instructions

Step 1

Prep: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes, but preferably 30 for deeper flavor.

Step 2

Crockpot: Transfer the marinated chicken and all the sauce to your crockpot. Pour in the chicken broth.

Step 3

Set and forget: Cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily with two forks.

Step 4

Noodle time: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cornstarch and give it a good whisk to avoid lumps. Add the ramen noodles and frozen peas. Cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are softened and the peas are cooked through.

Step 5

Finishing touches: Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha (optional).
