Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. Add 1 pack (3 oz) of instant ramen noodles and cook for 2 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp minced ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 julienned carrot, 1/2 cup frozen peas and corn mix, and 2 sliced green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Return the drained noodles to the skillet. Pour in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using. Toss everything together and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
