15-Minute Sesame Noodles with Veg

Ingredients

• 2 packs Ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Honey or brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp Neutral oil (for sautéing)
• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup Carrot, julienned
• 2 Scallions, sliced
• 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
• 1-2 tbsp Water (to loosen sauce, as needed)(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles according to package directions (about 3–4 minutes). Drain and reserve a splash of cooking water.

2. 2

   In a bowl, whisk sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Add 1–2 tbsp reserved noodle water if you want a looser sauce.

3. 3

   While noodles cook, heat neutral oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sauté broccoli, carrot, and bell pepper for 6–8 minutes until crisp-tender.

4. 4

   Add drained noodles to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the sesame-soy sauce and toss quickly for 1–2 minutes to coat (add a splash of water if needed).

5. 5

   Serve immediately, topped with sesame seeds and scallions.
