Favorite Add-Ins for Me

Ramen stir fry can be made with almost any sauté-friendly veggie. I enjoy it with thinly sliced mushrooms, onions, carrots, bean sprouts, broccoli florets, and bok choy or Napa cabbage that has been shredded.

The addition of chopped peanuts will give the dish some much-needed texture, taste, and protein without making it inedible for vegetarians.

Any leftover meats, such as teriyaki chicken thighs, should be added. For added flavor and visual appeal, garnish the finished meal with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions.

Warming up ramen stir-fry

Ramen stir fry will keep for up to four days in the fridge or up to four months in the freezer when securely covered. Before reheating in the microwave while covered, thaw first.

You can also reheat food in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until it is thoroughly steaming hot, using an oven-safe dish or pan covered with foil.
