Ingredients
  • 1 package (approx. 85g) Instant Noodles
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 clove, minced Garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon, grated Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Frozen Vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 tablespoon, chopped Green Onions
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds (optional)

Prepare the Noodles

Cook instant noodles according to package directions, usually about 3 minutes. Drain well, discarding the seasoning packet (we will be using our own sauce).

Sauté Aromatics

In a non-stick pan or wok, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Add Sauce and Vegetables

Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and sriracha (if using) to the pan. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 1 minute. Add frozen vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through.

Combine Noodles and Sauce

Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the sauce and vegetables. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.

Serve and Garnish

Transfer the noodles to a bowl. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using). Serve immediately and enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I use fresh noodles instead of instant noodles?

    Yes, you can. Cook the fresh noodles according to package directions and add them to the sauce as described above. Cooking time will vary based on the type of fresh noodles.
  • Can I add protein to this recipe?

    Absolutely! Cooked chicken, shrimp, tofu, or even a fried egg would be great additions.
  • What other vegetables can I use?

    Feel free to use any vegetables you like! Broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or snap peas would all work well.
  • Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

    It's best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the sauce in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Cook the noodles and combine everything just before serving.
