Why Make This Recipe

  • Comforting – Warm, flavorful, and spicy to curb your cravings. 
  • Quick – Get dinner on the table in less than 10 minutes. 
  • Customizable – Use this recipe as a jumping board and customize it with veggies or your favorite protein. 
  • Budget friendly – made with really affordable ingredients.
  • Dietary – Suitable for vegetarian and Vegan diets.

Ingredient Notes

  • Ramen Noodles – If you can get fresh noodles, go for it. You can find dried noodles in the Asian section of your grocery store. 
  • Sesame Oil – While you can substitute any cooking oil, sesame oil is loaded with flavor and will give your dish the Asian flavors you crave. 
  • Green Onions – Thinly sliced green onions give your dish a mild onion flavor and cook in a flash. 
  • Garlic – Use more if you prefer for a warm, spicy flavor. 
  • Ginger – Fresh ginger is the best, but you can use ginger paste. It adds a zesty flavor to your ramen noodles. 
  • Soy Sauce – Soy sauce adds saltiness to the dish. If you prefer less salt, look for a low sodium soy sauce. 
  • Rice Wine Vinegar – Milder and a bit sweeter than white vinegar. 
  • Sriracha – This spicy sauce gives this dish a kick. 
  • Sesame seeds – Finish the dish with a little crunch.

Tips For Success

  • Prep the noodles and veggies in advance as everything cooks very quickly.
  • Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl before you begin cooking, so it’s ready to add.

Variations

  • Add More Veggies – Add broccoli, sliced carrots, snow peas, and more. You may want to steam or sauté tougher veggies first, so they are tender. 
  • Add Protein – Sauté thinly sliced chicken breast or beef to add to your noodles. Toss in tofu or shrimp for a delicious full meal. 
  • Make it Spicier – Add more sriracha, chili garlic sauce, or chili onion crunch to add a bit more heat. 

Budget-Friendly Tips 

  • Buy Microwaveable Ramen On Sale – Look for sales on microwaveable ramen noodles. Save the noodles and discard the seasoning packets. 
  • Add Veggies or Meat –  Bulk out this meal by adding more veggies or some meat. A little bit goes a long way, so you don’t need to overdo it. 
  • Add Broth –  Add your choice of meat or veggie broth to make a warm soup. 
  • Cold Noodle Salad – Leftover cold noodles are delicious for lunch the next day.

FAQs

Can I Use Other Noodles?

Ramen noodles are a tasty, quick-cooking wheat noodle that’s perfect for stir fry. If you can’t find them or prefer something else, you can use Chinese egg noodles, soba, or udon noodles. In a pinch, you could even use spaghetti noodles.
