Ingredients
- Instant ramen noodles (or fresh or whole grain versions)
- Vegetable broth
- Soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- Sesame oil (or olive oil/avocado oil as a substitute)
- Bell peppers
- Carrots
- Green onions
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Chili paste (or Sriracha/vegan-friendly chili sauce as a substitute)
- Tofu (or tempeh, or can be omitted)
Instructions
- Start by cooking the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside. If you want, you can rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent them from sticking.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Toss in your choice of vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, etc.) and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. You can add a splash of water if needed to help them cook.
- If you’re using tofu, add it to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and chili paste. Stir everything together and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Finally, toss in the cooked ramen noodles. Stir everything together, ensuring the noodles are well-coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat the noodles through.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious bowl of Easy Saucy Ramen Noodles!
