This Ramen Noodle Stir Fry is a quick and easy flavor-packed main meal or side dish made with everyday ramen noodles, crisp stir-fried vegetables, and a six-ingredient sauce that will leave you licking your plate.
If you are looking for a heartier meal, add a little stir-fried chicken or beef to the mix! I honestly really enjoy the vegetable version of this colorful, nutritious dish. I love to serve this for weekend lunches or for dinner with potstickers or crab rangoon.
