If you’re anything like me, you probably always have a stash of ramen noodles in your pantry. They’re a lifesaver on busy days when you need a quick and easy meal that your kids will devour without complaints. But did you know that you can take your basic ramen noodles to the next level with just a few simple ingredients? That’s right – today, I’m sharing a new recipe for a delicious and satisfying Ramen Stir Fry with Egg that your whole family will love!
Setting the Scene
Picture this: it’s a hectic weeknight, and you’re scrambling to get dinner on the table before the hunger-induced meltdowns begin. Enter ramen noodles – the unsung hero of busy parents everywhere. With their lightning-fast cooking time and kid-friendly appeal, they’re the perfect canvas for creating a mouthwatering meal in minutes.
Recipe for Ramen Stir Fry With Egg:
To start, gather your ingredients. You’ll need:
- 3-4 Packages of ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)
- 3 Eggs
- Your favorite vegetables (think bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas)
- 2 sliced scallions
- For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 tablespoons soy sace
- 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 teaspoons minced ginger
Now, let’s get cooking! Chop up your veggies into bite-sized pieces and begin to boil water for the ramen.
In a separate skillet or wok, heat a drizzle of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add your chopped veggies to the skillet and stir-fry them until they’re tender-crisp and lightly caramelized.
Place your ramen in your boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, until just cooked. Don’t use the seasoning packets.
Next, add the scallions, and push the veggies to one side of the skillet and crack your eggs directly into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until they’re fully cooked, then mix them together with the veggies.
Once the ramen noodles are cooked, drain them and add them directly to the skillet with the veggies and eggs. Pour in your sauce. Give everything a good toss to ensure that the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
Serve your Ramen Stir Fry with Eggs piping hot, garnished with sliced green onions for a pop of freshness. Watch as your kids dig in with gusto, savoring every slurp of noodles and every bite of tender veggies and fluffy eggs.
Tips for the freshest and cheapest ingredients:
How to Have Infinite Scallions:
Never run out of scallions again! By storing them in water on your counter, you’ll always have fresh scallions on hand for garnishes, salads, soups, and stir-fries. No need to make last-minute trips to the store when a recipe calls for scallions – simply snip off what you need, and they’ll continue to regrow, saving you time and money.
- Store scallions in water in a mason jar on the counter.
- Change out the water once a week.
- Cut off pieces of scallions as needed; they will regrow in the jar!
How to Store Ginger in the Freezer:
Simplify your cooking routine with frozen ginger! By keeping ginger root in the freezer, you eliminate the need for frequent trips to the store. Grating frozen ginger is effortless and mess-free, allowing you to effortlessly infuse your dishes with its vibrant flavor. No more dealing with shriveled or moldy ginger sitting forgotten in your pantry – frozen ginger is always ready to enhance your culinary creations.
- Purchase a ginger root (inexpensive).
- Place it in a freezer bag and store it in the freezer.
- Use a microplane to grate frozen ginger into dishes as needed; it’s easier to work with than fresh ginger.
How to Utilize Frozen Veggies:
Diversify your meals with ease using frozen vegetables! Whether you’re short on fresh produce or simply looking to streamline your meal prep, frozen veggies offer convenience without sacrificing nutrition or taste. With a variety of stir-fry mixes available at affordable prices, you can whip up delicious and wholesome meals in no time. Say goodbye to wilted vegetables languishing in your crisper drawer – frozen veggies are your secret weapon for quick and healthy cooking.
- This dish pairs well with any veggies from your fridge; mix and match as desired.
- Frozen vegetables are a convenient option and can be found in stir-fry mixes at stores like Walmart.
- Frozen vegetables are as nutritious, if not more so, than fresh ones.
- Fresh vegetables are often picked before ripening fully and may lose nutrients during transportation.
- Frozen vegetables are harvested at peak freshness and flash-frozen, retaining nutrients and flavor.
