15-Minute Egg & Frozen Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry Recipe

Serves: 4 · Prep: 5 minutes · Cook: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 packs (about 3 oz / 85 g each) quick-cooking ramen-style noodles, seasoning packets discarded
• 4 large eggs
• 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables or frozen stir-fry vegetables
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey

Pantry basics: 1 to 2 teaspoons neutral cooking oil and water. Optional table extras: sliced green onion, sesame seeds, or chili sauce for adults.

Instructions

1. Soften the noodles. Put the noodles in a large heat-safe bowl and cover with very hot water. Let them stand for 3 to 4 minutes, just until flexible, then drain well. Follow the package directions if your noodles require a different method.
2. Mix the sauce. Stir the soy sauce and honey together in a small cup or bowl.
3. Cook the eggs. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Beat the eggs, add them to the skillet, and scramble until fully set with no liquid egg remaining, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the noodle bowl.
4. Cook the vegetables. Add the frozen vegetables to the same skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until hot and tender-crisp.
5. Finish the stir-fry. Add the drained noodles, cooked eggs, and sauce. Toss for 1 to 2 minutes until everything is steaming hot and evenly coated. Serve immediately.

Make This Card Fit Your Night

Picky-Eater Move

Before adding the sauce, set aside a portion of plain noodles, egg, and vegetables. Soy sauce can be offered at the table so the whole dinner does not have to taste the same for everyone.

Make It Cheaper

Use store-brand instant noodles and whatever frozen vegetable blend is already on sale or in your freezer. Eggs provide the protein, so there is no need to add meat.

Use What You Have

Spaghetti or thin noodles can replace ramen if cooked first. Leftover cooked vegetables can replace frozen vegetables; add them near the end so they only need reheating.

Make It Faster

Choose a small frozen vegetable blend without large broccoli stems or thick carrot pieces. Smaller vegetables heat through faster and keep the 15-minute promise realistic.

Leftovers Tomorrow

Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days. Reheat until steaming hot, adding a splash of water to loosen the noodles. The leftovers also work cold or room-temperature in a packed lunch if kept properly chilled until serving.
