Frozen vs Fresh Veggies
One of the biggest reasons I love this stir fry recipe is because it’s pretty adaptable. You can use either frozen or fresh veggies for this one which always makes me happy because I always love a new way to use those packs of frozen veggies in my freezer.
If you use fresh veggies, just add about 2 Tablespoons of water to the skillet while you cook them. This will help steam them a bit.
If you use frozen, no need for the extra water. If there is extra water after you cook the veggies, I take a paper towel and soak it up right from the pan.
Ramen Noodle Cooking Tips
Ramen Noodles kept me going through college. I would literally have a piece of bread and butter plus my big bowl of $.79 Ramen Noodles. But I guess I’m an adult now and can step up my Ramen Noodle game. But luckily, Ramen Noodles are still super cheap. Here are a few tips to make them taste the best!
- Start cooking the noodles once you start cooking the broccoli
- After straining the water off, rinse the noodles in cold water (this stops the cooking process)
- Drizzle a little Sesame Oil (or any kind of oil) over the strained noodles to help avoid sticking
I love this recipe and I hope you do too! Check out the easy recipe plus video with steps to make it!

Very good! And easy and quick! Love this for a quick supper during the week! The flavor is so good! I am going to try with asparagus too! Thanks!
So glad you liked this one! Asparagus in this is a great idea! Thank you!
Love it! So easy and so much flavor! Great week night meal! I might try it with asparagus next time…thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed this! All I had was ground chicken so I used that and felt like it worked out pretty well. I used low sodium chicken broth in the pan while cooking the fresh Broccoli and I feel like it gave it a little boost of flavor. I’ll definitely make it again! Thanks for sharing!
