Let’s talk ramen noodles. If you look in my pantry, you will always find these inexpensive, springy noodles. They cook fast and their curly texture is perfect for soaking up sauces. They make a great base for a quick weeknight stir-fry like this one. Add some sort of vegetable and protein, and it’s a complete, reasonably healthy dinner in under 30 minutes. The garlic, sesame sauce here is savory, sweet, and completely addictive. Here’s how it’s done!
