Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 5 oz golden oak shiitake mushrooms
  • 8 oz sugar snap peas
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups carrots, sliced into strips (about 34 medium carrots)
  • 1 small bunch green onions, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely diced or minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh garlic, finely diced or minced

Main Ingredients

  • 34 blocks ramen noodles (flavor packets discarded)

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil (plus additional 1 tablespoon for cooking)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, carrots, green onion, ginger, and garlic to a large nonstick skillet with 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil.
  2. Cook the vegetables: Sauté over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender but not mushy. Add an additional tablespoon of sesame oil halfway through cooking to prevent sticking if needed.
  3. Boil water for noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil to cook your ramen noodles according to package instructions.
  4. Add snap peas: In the last five minutes of cooking vegetables, add the sugar snap peas to the skillet.
  5. Cook noodles: As you add the snap peas, put the ramen noodles into the boiling water. Cook for 2-4 minutes as per package directions until tender, then drain.
  6. Mix stir fry sauce: Combine soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch in a mason jar. Screw the lid on tightly and shake vigorously until smooth and well combined.
  7. Combine noodles with vegetables: Add the drained ramen noodles to the skillet with the cooked vegetables.
  8. Add sauce and finish cooking: Pour the stir fry sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Cook for 1-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is evenly coated and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful ramen noodle stir fry!

Notes

  • Discard the seasoning packets from the ramen noodles to avoid excess sodium and artificial flavors.
  • Use reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari for a healthier sodium content.
  • Adjust the amount of sesame oil to prevent vegetables from sticking during cooking.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, ensure your soy sauce or tamari is vegetarian-certified.
