A quick and easy stir fry featuring crispy ramen noodles and fresh, colorful vegetables, perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (mixed colors)
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon chili flakes or sriracha
  • Optional protein add-ins: cooked chicken, tofu, or shrimp

Instructions

  1. Break ramen noodle blocks into smaller clusters. Boil noodles for 2 minutes in salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside to drain for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes if using. Set aside.
  3. Thinly slice carrots, bell peppers, onion, and snap peas. Chop green onions for garnish.
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and heat until hot but not smoking, about 1 minute.
  5. Spread drained noodles evenly in the pan. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy on the bottom. Flip noodles in sections and crisp the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add sliced onions, carrots, bell peppers, and snap peas. Stir-fry with noodles for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce over noodles and veggies. Toss gently to coat evenly. Cook for another minute to meld flavors and warm through.
  8. If using cooked protein, add now and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped green onions on top, and serve immediately while noodles are crispy and veggies bright.

Notes

Do not rush the crisping step; let noodles sit undisturbed to get a golden crunch. Rinse noodles after boiling to stop cooking and remove excess starch. Use medium-high heat to crisp noodles without burning. Adjust oil amount if pan gets dry. Use a wide pan for more crispy edges. For gluten-free, substitute noodles and soy sauce accordingly.
