Ramen Stir-Fry Recipe

Hello everyone! Quick question, how tedious has this week been? Honestly, I am so knackered. Its only Thursday, but I want to crawl into a corner somewhere with an endless pit of tea, cozy blankets and a good book. Or a big bowl of pipping hot ramen? either will do really. I just want to be warm and lazy.

I don't know about you, but noodles have changed my life. Remember when Nakumatt on stocked Heinz noodles? And all you had to do was pour hot water over it and cover for 3 minutes? And then remember we all went through that phase in college where we had Indomie noodles for breakfast and dinner.



Okay, Now think of all that fancy Chinese stir fried noodles that cost KES. 600 per plate. And then think about how that giant packet of Indomie costs KES. 35. Now thank me, for changing your noodle game forever.

 
Love,
Lola

Ingredients

- 1 package any flavor of your favourite noodles,(120g)

 

- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 

 

- 2 cloves  of garlic and one inch of ginger, finely minced

-* 1 package fresh stir-fry vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots, snow pea pods and bell peppers) (4 cups) 

 

- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon sugar

 

- 1/2 tablespoon salt

- *Cooked beef strips/ Chicken/ fish

Directions

• Prepare noodles according to package instructions.
• In a wok/ deep pan, lightly fry the garlic and ginger and vegetable mix on low heat, stirring frequently until your vegetables are crisp-tender. You don't want chewy vegetables.
•  Mix together, the soy sauce, sugar and salt.
• Once the noodles are fully cooked, drain half the water from the noodles.
• Add remaining water and noodles to the vegetables and lightly stir.
• *If you are using any meat, cook it in with the noodles.
• Finally, add the stir-fry sauce (soy sauce with salt and sugar) and stir until hot.
• Serve hot!

P.S: I like adding a little cheeky dash of Worcestershire sauce and paprika because I'm a rebel

1. *. You can get a prepacked package of stir-fry veggies from big stores or, you can prepare your own veggies, which is what I prefer because it means I know the exact thing that will go in my plate. I obviously encourage you to prepare your own selection of vegetables. You can customise it to your needs.

2* meat is always optional for me. Even though the pictures used here have beef strips, I have made this meal numerous time without any meat and It is delicious, all the same
