- 3 2.8-ounce packages of ramen noodles
- 2 stalks broccoli trimmed (about 1.5 cups)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup julienne carrots
- 6 ounces of snow peas
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper deseeded and cut into thin strips
- 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes for garnish
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, add the broccoli to the pot, and let it boil for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, add the ramen and cook for 3 minutes (with the broccoli). Strain the broccoli and noodles and set aside separately.
In a large skillet over high heat, add the sesame oil with the onion, mushrooms, carrots, bell pepper, and peas. Saute over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they start to crisp a bit and are wilted.
Add the drained noodles and broccoli to the skillet, followed by the tamari and fish sauce. Toss to combine.
Garnish with the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
If your ramen noodles take longer than 3 minutes to cook, add those to the water first, then add the broccoli to the pot when there are 5 minutes left on the noodles.

Protein Variations
Just like with veggies, there are a lot of options here. Choose to keep this recipe as is if you’re looking for a vegetarian option, or add any cooked protein that you love (crispy chicken thighs, teriyaki chicken wings, and teriyaki turkey meatballs would all be delicious) if you enjoy animal protein
