Ingredients
  

  • 3 ounces (85 grams / 3 oz) instant ramen noodles, seasoning packet discarded
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) vegetable oil
  • 6 ounces (170 grams / 6 oz) fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup (480 ml) (60 grams / 2.12 oz) shredded carrot
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) light teriyaki sauce
  • For a protein boost, toss in a handful of edamame or some pan-fried tofu cubes during the last minute of cooking.
  • Elevate the final dish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, a drizzle of sesame oil, or some freshly sliced green onions.
  • Feel free to swap the asparagus and carrots for other quick-cooking veggies like sliced bell peppers, snow peas, or bok choy.
  • If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a swirl of sriracha along with the teriyaki sauce.

Method
 

  1. Cook the ramen noodles according to the package directions.
  2. Once cooked, drain the noodles well and return them to the warm pot.
  3. Cover with a lid to keep them steamy and ready.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the chopped asparagus and shredded carrot, and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and perfectly crisp-tender.
  6. Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the vegetables, then add the warm, cooked noodles. Gently toss everything together until the noodles and veggies are beautifully coated in the glossy sauce.
  7. Serve immediately!
