Ingredients

  • 2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
  • 1 cup protein (chicken, tofu, shrimp, or beef, cooked and sliced)
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced thin
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste or sriracha (optional, for spice)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili paste or sriracha (if using). Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the cooked protein (chicken, tofu, shrimp, or beef) and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and evenly mixed.
  7. Transfer to serving bowls, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier version, add extra chili paste or sriracha to the sauce, or toss in some red pepper flakes.For a vegetarian option, use tofu or tempeh, and make sure your soy sauce is vegetarian-friendly.If you want extra crunch, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts on top before serving.
