Ramen Stir Fry

This is quick, easy and not always the same thing. Plus even my vegetable-hating kids used to beg me to make it!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pkg. Top Ramen
  • 1/4 head cabbage, shredded
  • soy sauce
  • small amount of oil
Variables:

Whatever vegetables you have on hand, such as carrots (cut small), broccoli, cauliflower, snow peas, watercress, "baby corn", in any combination you choose. Cut each into bite size pieces.

Whatever meat you have on hand, such as: shrimp, chicken, turkey, roast beef, roast pork. Tuna isn't especially great with this. Neither is ground beef.

Directions:

Boil the noodles according to package directions. Drain well and set aside. Preserve the flavoring packet.

In a large wok on medium-high heat with a small amount of oil (preheated), stir fry the meat till done. Set aside.

Stir fry the vegetables in order depending on "toughness" of the vegetables: Carrots, then broccoli and cauliflower, then the others. Don't overcook. You want them to be cooked but crunchy still. Set these aside.

Stir fry the cabbage, adding the vegetables, meat, and noodles all at the same time. Add soy sauce to taste. Serve immediately. This makes quite a bit, so be sparing on the amounts of vegetables and meat.

Recipe: Ramen Stir Fry

Ramen noodles with a blend of different ingredients. I like it because it is affordable, easy to make, and very tasty.

Ingredients:

  • 3 packs of chicken flavored ramen noodles
  • chicken breasts
  • cabbage (or substitute with broccoli)
  • carrots
  • fish oil
  • eggs

Directions:

First, cut carrots and cabbage into bite-sized pieces. In a medium sized pot, bring water to a boil and add carrots and cabbage. Cover with lid to hold steam and stir occasionally. When finished, drain and set aside in separate bowl.

Cut chicken breasts into cubes and add to low-heat skillet. Add a small amount of fish sauce for flavor. When done, remove from heat. Clean pan, then start scrambling eggs. No need to add any seasonings because the packets that come with the noodles are plenty. Cook until done, then turn off heat.

Next, bring noodles to a boil and cook until desired texture. Do not add in seasoning packets yet. When finished, drain, then place in skillet.

Mix eggs, chicken, vegetables, and the Ramen Noodles all in the skillet over medium heat. Add in packets of seasoning from Ramen package. If it appears dry, add a little water to preferred consistency.

Now just remove from heat and enjoy!

Servings: 2-3
Time:15 Minutes Preparation Time

RE: Ramen Stir Fry

This is good except for the seasoning packets, full of nasties; MSG, sodium, artificial stuff. I have done that but my stomach reacts badly, as in stay by the toilet. When I don't use the seasoning packets, but season out of the pantry (ginger, soy sauce, garlic) I am happier, intestinally. (07/27/2009)

RE: Ramen Stir Fry

I used to make a similar dish and it had a name but for the life of me I can't remember it. Anyway it was done basically the same as yours except I used whatever vegetables I had on hand; carrots, broccoli, whatever, along with the Ramen noodles and cabbage. And I used whatever meat I had on hand too. Beef, chicken, pork, ham. No eggs though. Also I used olive oil instead of fish oil. And seasoned it with soy sauce. It was delicious! (07/29/2009)
