Ingredients
2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha or chili sauce (optional for heat)
1 teaspoon sugar or maple syrup
1/2 cup vegetable broth or water
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, or bok choy)
1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Prepare the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha (if using), sugar, and vegetable broth or water. Set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
- Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the pan with vegetables. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss to coat evenly. Drizzle with sesame oil and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the level of sriracha based on your heat preference.
For extra protein, consider adding tofu, tempeh, or edamame.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat with a splash of water or broth if needed.
