Ingredients to make ramen stir fry

- bell pepper
- carrots
- green onions
- fresh garlic and ginger
- stir fry sauce
One of my favorite parts of stir fry is pairing it with either white rice or noodles. Ramen noodles are particularly delicious in stir fry, and the perfect texture! They are a great all purpose noodle to use in basically any stir fry recipe.
Bonus points that they are easy to cook and take less than 5 minutes.
I purchased organic ramen noodles and used 4 packs, but if you purchase regular ramen you will only need 3 packs since they were a slightly larger size than the ones I bought.
How to make vegetable stir fry noodles
In a large nonstick skillet or jumbo cooker (this is what I use), add in your mushrooms, green onion, bell pepper, carrots, ginger, and garlic.
Add 2 – 3 tablespoons of sesame oil, enough so that the veggies can cook without sticking. I added two tablespoons to start, and one more part way through.
Cook the veggies over medium high heat for 20 – 25 minutes. Stir every few minutes to ensure that the vegetables cook evenly.
Once the veggies are almost soft (the carrots should be cooked but not mushy), add in the sugar snap peas for the last 5 minutes.
Cooking the peas at the end lets them keep that sweet crunch without getting too soft.
When you throw your snap peas in, now is the time the ramen noodles should be going in the boiling water also (since they only take 3 – 4 minutes to make).
Once the ramen noodles have cooked, drain them and add them to the vegetables.
Pour your 3 ingredient stir fry sauce (recipe is linked below in the recipe card) over the top, then mix well until the ramen noodle stir fry is thoroughly coated in sauce.
This stir fry sauce is our favorite one and we use it all the time. Just sesame oil, cornstarch, and soy sauce. All you do is shake and combine!
I ate a huge plate of this and it was amazing and very filling.
The key to that perfect knock your socks off takeout taste is this:
- fresh garlic
- fresh ginger
- the homemade stir fry sauce
If you have these three things, and you can make any kind of stir fry ingredients taste incredible!
Easy ways to adapt this recipe:
Add your favorite protein of choice (tofu would be delicious!)
Use brown rice ramen noodles to make this gluten free. Switch up the veggies with what you have on hand. This would be great with any variety of stir fry veggies!
Although this recipe is made without meat, you could aways add it in. We sometimes add tofu for added protein! Just add your favorite protein to make it even more filling.
My husband and I made this last week. We’ve tried many ramen stir fry recipes and this is by far the BEST. So good thank you! – Jenny

Notes
- I used organic ramen noodles which were 2.1 oz per box, making the total oz for 4 to be 8.4 oz. Regular ramen noodles are typically 3 oz each block, so if you use these you would only need 3 blocks instead of 4.
Made this last night and it was delish! It was just for me, so I did about 1/3 of everything (leftovers!) and as much as I love garlic and ginger, it was a little too much. I will also say that I would never in my wildest dreams cook veggies for that long at that heat – as they would absolutely become mushy. Will definitely be adding this to our regular dinner rotation!
