When you need a meal in a hurry, instant noodles are a total lifesaver. This quick stir fry method adds a bit of fresh flavor to your favorite noodles, making them feel much more like a proper dinner.

You can toss in whatever vegetables or proteins you have sitting in the fridge. I love adding a splash of soy sauce and a little sesame oil to give everything a lovely savory aroma.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages instant noodles, flavor packets discarded
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables, thawed
  • 1 cup cooked chicken or tofu, diced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil a pot of water and cook the noodles according to the package directions, but drain them just before they get too soft.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat.

  3. 3

    Add the vegetables and protein to the pan and cook for about three minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Toss the cooked noodles into the pan and pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the top.

  5. 5

    Stir everything together for two minutes until the noodles are well coated and hot.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately with a garnish of sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. If you want a bit of a kick, stir in some sriracha or red pepper flakes while you are sautéing the vegetables.
