Beef Ramen Noodle Stir Fry Recipe
Recipe posted in: Flex Meals & Snacks, Lunches & Dinners, Main CoursesWhen most people think of ramen noodles, they picture college dorm room days and eating on a budget. However, there is so much more to this Japanese-style noodle soup than a cheap and easy meal! We’re showing you just how tasty ramen noodles can be with just a little TLC. Transform a pack of ramen noodles into a gourmet meal for four with this Beef Ramen Noodle Stir Fry recipe!
Tender strips of flank steak are cooked to perfection and paired with a medley of non-starchy vegetables in this easy dinner meal. Just like in the popular TikTok ramen recipe, we throw away the flavor packets and make our own tasty ramen sauce. However, our version is healthier free of butter and brown sugar.
Our homemade stir fry sauce features a sweet, savory and spicy blend of sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, honey and red pepper flakes. This simple yet super delicious combination of ingredients is the perfect way to elevate an ordinary pack of ramen noodles.
Can’t handle the heat? Just omit the red pepper flakes and feel free to eliminate the ground ginger.

Healthy Hacks: Like most stir fry recipes, this Beef Ramen Noodle Stir Fry is easily customizable. You can swap in your favorite meat, veggies and spices to create your own healthy ramen recipe that you love. For example, you can substitute the steak with some chicken or even an egg to switch things up each week. Use a combination of broccoli and red bell peppers one week, then switch to snow peas and mushrooms the following week. You could also try the TikTok ramen recipe trend and add some Everything Bagel Seasoning. The combinations are endless!
