Ingredients
2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
2 green onions, sliced
1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., shredded carrots, bell peppers, snap peas)
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes.
- In a large skillet or wok, sauté the mixed vegetables over medium-high heat until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce over them. Toss everything together to coat the noodles and vegetables evenly with the sauce.

- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
