Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry with Bok Choy & Baby Broccoli

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! That being said, I was really in the mood for something green today so I made these yummy ramen noodles topped with all things green. The ramen noodles are made by a company called Lotus Foods, and they are vegan, gluten free and reduced sodium.

They were quite tasty and looked lovely next to the bright green vegetables.

Hope you enjoy this quick and easy ramen noodle recipe as much as I did. Wishing you a peaceful and compassionate week!

You can cook your veggies in your stir-fry. I like to steam mine until bright green and add them in the end so they don't overcook, but anything goes for a stir-fry

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 8 ounces of soba noodles (I used gluten-free Lotus Rice Ramen noodles)
• ½ small red pepper, chopped
• 1 bunch baby broccoli, each stem cut in half, keeping them on the larger side
• 1 bunch of bok choy, chopped into large pieces (sometimes called Chinese cabbage)
• 1-2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 inch of fresh ginger, minced
• 1 red serrano or Thai chili, minced (optional)
• 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, dark green parts seperated (save some for garnish)

Sauce

• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or dry sherry
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (or more to taste)
• ¼ cup vegetable broth
• Fresh ground black pepper to taste
• teaspoon red chili paste (optional and only if you like heat)

Instructions

1. Steam baby broccoli and bok choy until bright green and still crisp.
2. In a small bowl combine the vegetable broth, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil and chili paste if using.
3. Cook ramen noodles according to instructions making sure you don't overcook them. Mine took about 4 minutes.
4. Heat oil in a large non-stick saucepan. Add scallions, garlic, ginger, red pepper and red chili and saute for about 1-2 minutes. Add sauce and cook for another 2 minutes. Add noodles and steamed vegetables. Combine and stir-fry for another minute. Taste for seasonings. Add more sauce if needed.
5. Serve and garnish with scallions and/or sesame seeds.
6. * you could also add mushrooms to this stir-fry or any or your favorite vegetables. Sometimes I include tofu.
