  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Noodles and Vegetables

  • 6 ounces ramen noodles (2 blocks)
  • 2 cups fresh chopped broccoli, bok choy or veggies of choice
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame

Aromatics and Sauce

  • 5 cloves garlic (2 1/2 tsp minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger (can substitute 1 tsp dried, fresh preferred)
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onions/scallions (white part for stir fry; reserve remainder for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive)
  • 3-4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari*
  • 2 tbsp vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to spice preference)
  • 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce (more if you prefer sweeter flavor)

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, typically about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook to avoid chewy or soggy noodles. Gluten-free noodles may require longer cooking.
  2. Saute aromatics: Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped scallion whites, and grated ginger. Sauté until the garlic is golden brown and fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
  3. Add vegetables: Add the shelled edamame and chopped vegetables to the pan. Sauté until they are fork-tender or wilted, depending on the vegetables chosen.
  4. Prepare sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce or tamari, vegetable or chicken broth, toasted sesame oil, sriracha, and sweet chili sauce until well combined.
  5. Combine ingredients: Add the cooked noodles and sauce to the pan with the vegetables. Toss gently and let everything combine over very low heat to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Adjust seasoning: Taste the stir fry and adjust the seasoning as needed, commonly by adding more soy sauce or sriracha depending on your preference for saltiness and spice.
  7. Serve: Serve the stir fry topped with sesame seeds and the remaining chopped scallions. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use low sodium soy sauce or tamari to control salt levels, adjusting seasoning at the end as desired.
  • Fresh ginger provides the best flavor but dried ginger can be substituted if necessary.
  • Choose your favorite vegetables such as broccoli, bok choy, bell peppers, or snap peas for variety.
  • Be careful not to overcook the ramen noodles for best texture.
  • Additional toppings like sesame seeds and extra scallions add crunch and freshness.
