Would you like to make a quick meal from ingredients you already have on hand? This easy stir fry can either be a side dish, or add more veggies and call it dinner. Ramen noodle packs are readily available and a nice change from rice as a base. Just remember to omit the salt packet as that is what makes this packaged food less than good for you. Make yourself a pot of green tea or pour a Tsingtao beer.

Ingredient list for 2 servings

• 1 3oz packet Ramen noodles - discard salt package
