Ingredients

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning)
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
  • Green onions or sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions (discard flavor packet). Drain and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and 2 tbsp water. Set aside.
  3. Toss sliced beef with cornstarch to help sear.
  4. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and sear for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove from pan.
  5. Add remaining oil and stir-fry broccoli for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Return beef to the pan, add the sauce, and stir until everything is well-coated and sauce slightly thickens.
  8. Add cooked ramen noodles and toss to combine.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Use chicken, tofu, or shrimp instead of beef.
  • Add extra veggies like carrots, mushrooms, or snap peas.
  • For spice, add sriracha or chili garlic sauce to the stir-fry sauce.
  • Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water for best texture.
  • Use frozen broccoli if needed—just thaw and pat dry before stir-frying.
