Nutritious: While instant ramen noodles aren’t known for their health benefits, adding stir-fried veggies makes this dish a much more balanced, wholesome option.
The Ingredients
Ramen noodle packet: Quick-cooking ramen noodles absorb all the stir fry flavors perfectly. Discard the seasoning packet and make your own sauce for a healthier twist!
Vegetables: Use any mix of veggies like bok choy, snap peas, carrots, scallions, mushrooms, or peppers. Cut them evenly for quick cooking and a colorful, nutrient-packed stir fry.
Yellow or white miso: This fermented soy paste adds a rich umami flavor, making the dish savory and satisfying.
Low-sodium soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos: These options provide that salty, savory kick. Choose tamari for gluten-free or coconut aminos for a soy-free, slightly sweeter alternative.
Substitutions and Variations
Noodles Variety: Switch up the noodles if you want and use udon, rice noodles, or even whole wheat noodles for a different texture and flavor.
Protein Boost: Add some chicken, shrimp, or even tofu to this recipe for a little boost of protein.
Egg on Top: Fry or poach an egg to place on the stir-fry just before serving. The runny yolk adds an indulgent touch.
Sriracha or Chili Flakes: For those who love heat, a drizzle of sriracha or a pinch of red chili flakes can spice things up.
Crunchy Nuts: Sprinkle chopped peanuts, cashews, or almonds on top for an extra layer of crunch and flavor.
How to Make Ramen Noodle Stir Fry
Step 1: Place ramen noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate for 5 minutes or until noodles are tender.
Step 2: Heat oil over medium high in a large sauté pan and add vegetables. Cook for 3 minutes.
Step 3: Add miso, soy sauce and 1-2 tbsp of water reserved from soaking noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes to coat all of the vegetables or until miso is dissolved. Drain water from the noodles. Add the noodles to the sauté pan, stir to coat with the sauce and heat through for one minute.
Step 4: Top with sesame seeds or scallions if desired and serve.
Tips for the Best Ramen Noodle Stir Fry
Don’t overcook the ramen. The noodles will continue to cook slightly when you sauté them in the sauce. You want ramen noodles to be chewy but not soggy!
It’s best served immediately. Noodle dishes typically aren’t as tasty when they sit for a while, so serving/eating this right after it’s done is best!
Experiment with textures and flavors. I’ve said it several times, but feel free to go wild with what you add to this stir fry. That’s the beauty of a recipe like this. You can make it your own and play around with it so every bite is exactly what you want.
Frozen veggies are your friend. To make this recipe even easier, you could use any frozen vegetables you have on hand. Save chopping time and money!
