How do you make healthy ramen noodles?

Do you like the instant ramen and the convenience they bring? But not so sure about all that sodium and MSG in itsspice packet of soup stock? In that case, the answer is simple!

It’s time to make your own stir fry sauce! Because this ramen noodle recipe tastes better than anything in a packet! Besides itcomes together as quickly as if you were using the ramen packets. So perfect for quick mid-week meal!

• First things first, you will need 2 packages of noodles to make the ramen noodle recipe. I used two 3 ounce packages in total.
• You will start by boiling the noodles. Only 2 minutes!
• While they are cooking, we will make the stir fry!
• Simply heat your vegetable oil in a medium skillet and sauté onion, garlic, bell pepper and broccoli. Only enough to make them soft. I did it very quickly, about two minutes.
• Then, I removed the vegetables from the pan and added my ground beef.
• Once you cooked the beef, drain all its liquid and add back the vegetables.
• Now, prepare the sauce by adding soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar and garlic.
• Finally, drain cooked ramen noodles and toss them in the beef with sauce!
• Top the noodles stir fry with chopped green onions or sesame seeds!

I added sauce and noodles at the same time.

What if I don’t like soy sauce?

COCONUT AMINOS. If you are not a fan of soy, you can easily replace it with coconut aminos.If you never cooked with coconut aminos,they are dark in color. Just like soy sauce. But unlike soy sauce, they contain far less sodium. Yet, they still have that salty, umami flavor of soy.

TAMARI. What about Tamari sauce? You will find it stronger in flavor than coconut aminos,but also less salty than regular soy sauce. If you are gluten free, you can use Tamari instead of soy. I used Tamari sauce in thisEasy Chicken Stir Fryas well. Give it a try!

What kind of skillet do I need?

I like using a solid stainless steel pan, such as this 12 inch pan with a lid.

So next time you are reaching for something quick to eat, you know there is a healthier alternative! You can now make this healthy ramen noodles recipe for lunch. Or, dinner.

And, you can even add more spice. If so, add a bit more sriracha until desired heat is reached. Or, use less. You can also use sesame oil here, but I find its taste a bit strong. Therefore go slow on it. Start with ½ teaspoon only. So much better than instant Ramen packets! And so healthy!
