Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ red bell pepper, sliced
- ½ cup broccoli florets
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 pack Annie Chun’s Spicy Miso Ramen
- ½ cup water
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 sauce packet from Annie Chun’s Spicy Miso Ramen
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Garnishes
- 1 tablespoon roasted unsalted cashews
- 1 tablespoon scallions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets, sautéing them until they are tender and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing its aroma to develop.
- Cook the Noodles: Remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set aside temporarily. In the same skillet, add the ½ cup of water along with the ramen noodles. Cook until the noodles soften and most of the water evaporates, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Mix and Add the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the miso sauce packet from the ramen, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the noodles, tossing well to coat the noodles evenly.
- Combine and Thicken: Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the noodles and vegetables.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the stir-fried noodles and vegetables to a serving bowl. Top with roasted unsalted cashews and chopped scallions for added texture and flavor. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables like snap peas, carrots, or mushrooms depending on your preference.
- Adjust the amount of honey and soy sauce to suit your taste, especially if you prefer it sweeter or saltier.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Cashews can be replaced with peanuts or omitted for a nut-free option.
- Be careful not to overcook the noodles to maintain their chewy texture.
