Quick and Easy Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

• 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1/2 cup snap peas
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 green onions, chopped
• Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Noodles:

   • Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, but without using the seasoning packets. Drain and set aside.

2. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

   • In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion is translucent.
   • Add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, snap peas, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

3. Cook the Eggs:

   • Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side and scramble until fully cooked. Mix the scrambled eggs with the vegetables.

4. Combine Everything:

   • Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Add red pepper flakes, if desired. Toss everything together until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.

5. Season and Serve:

   • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
   • Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Tips:

• Protein Addition: For added protein, you can include cooked chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu.
• Vegetable Variations: Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand, such as spinach, zucchini, or bok choy.
• Sauce Adjustments: Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce according to your taste preference. For a sweeter touch, you can add a bit of hoisin sauce or teriyaki sauce.
