Ingredients
Scale
For the Stir-Fry:
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets or save for another use)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
- 1 cup cooked protein of choice (chicken, beef, shrimp, tofu, or edamame)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
For the Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for umami)
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (optional, for heat)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (or honey for sweetness)
Optional Toppings:
- Sesame seeds
- Sriracha or chili oil
- Lime wedges
Instructions
Cook the Ramen:
- Boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside. Avoid overcooking, as the noodles will cook further in the stir-fry.
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce (if using), and sugar. Set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and snap peas, stir-frying for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Combine Ingredients:
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the cooked protein to reheat briefly.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce over the top. Toss everything together until well-coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the stir-fry to serving bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with sriracha, chili oil, or lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
