Ingredients
  

  • 2 packs ramen noodles discard seasoning packets
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds optional

For the sauce:

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce or hoisin for vegetarian
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook the noodles: Boil ramen noodles according to package instructions, but slightly undercook them by 1 minute. Drain and set aside.
  • Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • Combine and toss: Add the cooked noodles and sauce to the pan. Toss everything together until noodles are coated and heated through (about 2–3 minutes).
  • Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use pre-cut veggies to save prep time.
  • Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
  • Swap sesame oil for chili oil if you like it spicy.
  • For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free noodles.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
