In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and Sriracha until well combined. Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken and sauté, breaking into small pieces, until fully cooked and no longer pink, approximately 7-8 minutes.
03 -
While the chicken cooks, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
04 -
Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Bring to a gentle simmer.
05 -
Incorporate sliced bell peppers and coleslaw mix into the skillet. Stir to combine, then cover the pan and allow the cabbage to wilt for approximately 2 minutes.
06 -
Add ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, or according to package instructions. Stir chicken and vegetables once more, then cover.
07 -
Once noodles are cooked, carefully reserve 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water and add it to the skillet.
08 -
Drain the noodles thoroughly and add to the skillet with chicken and vegetables. Toss the mixture using wooden spoons or kitchen tongs until noodles are evenly coated with sauce and ingredients are well distributed.
09 -
Transfer to serving bowls. Garnish immediately with sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and additional hot sauce if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 4 days.
