• If you prefer less chewy noodles, cook the ramen for slightly less time than indicated on the package.
• Keep an eye on your stir fry while cooking to prevent the garlic and ginger from burning.

Optional variations

• You can add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots to enhance the nutrition and color.
• For a spicy kick, consider adding a drizzle of sriracha or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
