directions

  • Boil the veggies in a pot just until tender, slightly firm.
  • In a seperate pot, boil the noodles 3 or 4 minutes, and drain the water out.
  • In a skillet, heat the oil over med-high heat and add the noodles.
  • As they are sizzling, open only one packet of the seasoning provided in the Top Ramen packet, and sprinkle over the noodles ( using both seasoning packs will make it too salty). Stir the noodles occasionally allowing them to brown and crisp up a little. Add the veggies and meat , and drizzle lightly with soy sauce. Cook a few more minutes until veggies are tender and noodles are seasoned and cooked well.
  • Serve and enjoy.
