  • Sea salt, to taste

For the stir fry sauce:

  • 4 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 3 TBSP low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp liquid honey
  • 2 TBSP rice vinegar
  • 3 large garlic cloves, grated into a paste or minced
  • 2 tsp sambal oelek (garlic chili sauce) Sriracha will also work
  • 2 TBSP hot water

Instructions

Stir-fry Sauce.

  • In a small bowl, whisk all of the listed sauce ingredients together until cohesive; set aside.

Stir-fry.

  • Cook the Ramen noodles as per the directions on the package. When done, drain and set aside.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until it's very hot—almost smoking. Add 1 TBSP of sesame oil, then add the shrimp. Give the shrimp a few tosses and move them around so they don't stick. Cook until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and curled into a C. This should only take 2-3 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp. When done, transfer the shrimp to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add another TBSP of sesame oil to the wok or skillet. Add all of the vegetables and give them a few tosses, letting them cook for about 5-7 minutes or until tender but still crisp. If the pan gets dry, you can add a little more oil or even a bit of water.
  • With a spatula, move the vegetables to the side of the wok. Add the beaten eggs. The eggs will start cooking as soon as they hit the pan. Treat it like you would a scrambled egg, stirring it occasionally, until it breaks off into fluffy chunks, for about 1 minute.
  • Add the shrimp to the wok and toss in the Ramen noodles. Remove the wok from the heat and drizzle the stir-fry over all of the ingredients. Carefully toss everything until you have even coverage. Taste, and if needed, add a bit more sesame oil and/or sambal oelek.
  • Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or chili flakes, and serve!
