Ramen Stir Fry vs Stir Fry Noodles
You might be asking yourself what the big difference is concerning these two dishes. Not much!
Stir Fry Noodles can include a wide variety of noodle types such as egg noodles, udon noodles, chow mein noodles, spaghetti, linguine, and ramen noodles!
Ramen stir fry is specifically made with, you guessed it, ramen noodles. You can either use the packaged kind you most likely ate as a poor college student. It’s cheap, cooks fast, and is tossed with tons of veggies and a great-tasting sauce. Or, you can opt for a higher end type of Ramen noodles, like these that I frequently find at Costco.
Feel free to use what you like or have with this recipe. Just be sure to add in some powdered chicken bouillon if you aren’t going to use the cheap ramen that comes with flavor packets. Pick the ramen flavor that you like best. We used chicken flavor but pork, beef or shrimp would work just as well.
Ingredients Needed For Ramen Stir Fry
Simple ingredients come together to make this healthful and tasty ramen noodle stir fry recipe! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Instant Ramen noodles (3 packages): or whatever type of noodle you’d like plus two tablespoons of chicken bouillon. I used the chicken flavor ramen.
- olive oil or canola oil
- onion
- fresh vegetables: such as asparagus, green beans, carrot, broccoli, celery, snow peas, etc.
- chicken seasoning packet from the packages of ramen above: or use 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon.
- sesame oil
- hoisin sauce
- granulated garlic
- cold water
- teriyaki sauce
Variations
- Protein options: Swap out the veggies or add your favorite protein like chicken thighs, pork, ground beef, shrimp or eggs.
- Vegetable oil: Substitute olive oil with vegetable oil or peanut oil.
- Soy sauce: Use low-sodium soy sauce instead of hoisin for a lighter option.
- Green onions: Top with chopped green onions for a fresh kick.
- Sesame seeds: Sprinkle on top for added crunch.
- Oyster Sauce: You can substitute Hoisin sauce with oyster sauce or a mix of soy sauce and a bit of brown sugar for sweetness.
Veggie Options
There are 3 whole cups of veggies stir-fried right alongside these ramen noodles! I’m talking carrots, celery, broccoli, green beans, and more! I highly recommend using veggies your family will eat so if that means making some substitutions, by all means, go ahead. Here are some ideas that would go well with this dish:
- carrots
- celery
- broccoli florets
- green beans
- napa cabbage
- cauliflower
- snow peas
- edemame
- mushrooms
- asparagus
- bean sprouts
- red bell pepper
- bok choy
