If you’re a fan of easy stir fry recipes like Chicken Stir Fry and Shrimp Fried Rice, you’re in for a treat. Our Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry takes stir fry to a new level by incorporating delicious ramen noodles, transforming it into a complete meal that’s reminiscent of our Rice Noodle Stir Fry.
The Birth of Ramen Noodle Stir Fry
It may sound humorous now, but back in 2020, we stocked up on ramen noodles out of concerns about food shortages, a sentiment many families could relate to. While we didn’t typically use ramen, our stockpile led us to explore creative and delectable ways to make use of it. So, you could say that the challenging year of 2020 gifted us with the creation of this Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry recipe.
Ramen Stir Fry became a home run in our household. My son couldn’t get enough of it and even declared it to be tastier than his beloved Panda Express. I prepared it twice in a single week, and he devoured every last bite. P.S. It reheats beautifully the next day.
Ingredients for Ramen Stir Fry
- Beef – We opted for 1 lb of flank steak, but top sirloin makes for a great substitute. Thinly sliced boneless pork loin chops can also be used.
- Broccoli – A generous pound of broccoli makes this a well-rounded meal (see vegetable substitution options below).
- Dill and Chives – These are optional garnishes but come highly recommended.
- Stir Fry Sauce – Grated fresh ginger and garlic combined with brown sugar, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and black pepper. The cornstarch is the key to the sauce’s perfect thickness and sauciness.
