Ramen Stir-Fry is a quick, flavorful dish that transforms instant ramen noodles into a savory, vegetable-packed meal. The noodles are stir-fried with a colorful mix of vegetables—such as bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, or snap peas—and tossed in a rich sauce made from soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a hint of sesame oil. Protein like chicken, beef, tofu, or shrimp can be added for extra heartiness. This dish balances chewy noodles, crisp-tender veggies, and bold umami flavors, making it a satisfying and easy weeknight dinner that comes together in under 20 minutes.
