Ingredients

Scale

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional, for heat)

For the Noodles:

  • 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas)
  • 1 egg (optional, for added protein)
  • Sesame seeds and more green onions (for garnish)

 


Instructions

1. Cook the Noodles:

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside.

2. Make the Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger (if using), and red chili flakes. Set aside.

3. Cook the Vegetables and Egg:

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. Push the vegetables to one side and crack the egg into the skillet. Scramble until fully cooked, then mix it with the vegetables.

4. Combine the Noodles and Sauce:

  1. Add the drained noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce over the top.
  2. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce and heated through (about 2 minutes).

5. Garnish and Serve:

  1. Transfer the noodles to bowls and garnish with sesame seeds and additional green onions.
  2. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Protein Options: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier dish.
  • Veggie Boost: Use frozen vegetables for convenience or add leafy greens like spinach or bok choy at the end of cooking.
  • Make it Creamy: Stir in a spoonful of peanut butter or tahini for a creamy twist.
