Ingredients

For the Ramen:

3 cloves garlic minced
1 medium zucchini quartered
5 oz mushrooms 140g
2 packs 6 oz ramen noodles - just the noodles, disregard the seasoning packet
Green onions for garnish
430 g Korean Ground Beef* - see Notes for subbing

For the sauce:

3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce 45mL
2 Tbsp rice vinegar 30mL
1 Tbsp ginger paste 15mL
2 Tbsp sugar free pancake syrup 30g
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional for an extra kick

Instructions

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Add zucchini, mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
While the veggies are cooking, mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
Boil the ramen noodles just until they begin to come apart and are slightly soft, then drain and add the noodles and sauce to the pot, mixing everything together on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Serve topped with some sesame seeds, sliced green onions and an egg, if desired!

Notes

Don't overcook the ramen noodles. Boil them just until they come apart and have a slight bite to them. The noodles will continue to cook slightly as you stir fry them. Ramen noodles should have a chewy texture in the end and not be soggy.
