Christina's Ramen Stirfry

source unknown

• 1/4 c. soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp. dry ginger
• 2-3 Tbsp. olive oil
• about 18 ounces Yaki Soba noodles or ramen noodles
• lots of mixed, chopped veggies (whatever you have and however much you want!)

Instructions

• In a small bowl combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and black pepper. Set aside.
• Remove Yaki Soba from packages and discard included flavoring packets. Rinse noodles well, drain, and set aside. If using ramen noodles, don't worry about rinsing and draining. Just get them out and ready.
• Heat oil in a large wok or skillet on medium high or high heat. Add veggies and saute for about 3-4 minutes or until they are crisp-tender.
• Toss Yaki Soba noodles and soy sauce mixture with the vegetables over medium-high heat for an additional 2-3 minutes or until noodles are heated through. If using ramen, need to boil about 2 minutes until al dente and then toss briefly with veggies and sauce.
• Serve immediately.
