Description
A quick, savory, and filling stir-fry made with instant ramen noodles, frozen vegetables, and eggs. This recipe is designed for speed and low cost, requiring only one pan and minimal prep work.
Ingredients
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (210g), Beef or Chicken flavor preferred
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Boil water and cook ramen noodles for 2-3 minutes until soft but still chewy. Drain noodles, reserving them (do not rinse).
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add frozen vegetables (do not thaw) and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly charred.
- Push vegetables to one side of the pan. Crack eggs into the empty space and scramble until just set but still soft. Mix eggs with vegetables.
- Add drained noodles to the pan. Pour the sauce over everything and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing noodles to absorb sauce and get slightly crispy on the bottom. Add a splash of water if too dry.
- Turn off heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not thaw frozen vegetables; cook them straight from the freezer to prevent sogginess. Use high heat to ensure stir-frying rather than steaming. If using the ramen flavor packet, use only half to avoid excessive saltiness. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated with a splash of water.
