Instructions
Place ramen noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate for 5 minutes or until noodles are tender.
Heat oil over medium high in a large sauté pan and add vegetables. Cook for 3 minutes.
Add miso, soy sauce and 1-2 tbsp of water reserved from soaking noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes to coat all of the vegetables or until miso is dissolved.
Drain water from noodles.
Add the noodles to the sauté pan, stir to coat with the sauce and heat through for one minute.
Top with sesame seeds or scallions if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Don't overcook the ramen. The noodles will continue to cook slightly when you sauté them in the sauce. You want ramen noodles to be chewy but not soggy!
It's best served immediately. Noodle dishes typically aren't as tasty when they sit for a while, so serving/eating this right after it's done is best!
Experiment with textures and flavors. I've said it several times, but feel free to go wild with what you add to this stir fry. That's the beauty of a recipe like this. You can make it your own and play around with it so every bite is exactly what you want.
Frozen veggies are your friend. To make this recipe even easier, you could use any frozen vegetables you have on hand. Save chopping time and money!
