Ramen Stir Fry vs Stir Fry Noodles

You might be asking yourself what the big difference is concerning these two dishes. Not much!

Stir Fry Noodles can include a wide variety of noodle types such as egg noodles, udon noodles, chow mein noodles, spaghetti, linguine, and ramen noodles!

Ramen stir fry is specifically made with, you guessed it, ramen noodles (yes the packaged kind you most likely ate as a poor college student). It’s cheap, cooks fast, and is tossed with tons of veggies and a great-tasting sauce.

Feel free to use what you like or have with this recipe. Just be sure to add in some powdered chicken bouillon if you aren’t going to use the cheap ramen that comes with flavor packets.

Which Ramen Flavor Should I Choose?

Pick the ramen flavor that you like best, we used chicken flavor but pork, beef or shrimp would work just as well.

Veggie Options

There are 3 whole cups of veggies stir-fried right alongside these ramen noodles and my kids ate it all! I’m talking carrots, celery, broccoli, green beans, and more! It was a sight to behold. I highly recommend using veggies your own family will eat so if that means making some substitutions, by all means, go ahead. Here are some ideas that would go well with this dish:

  • carrots
  • celery
  • broccoli
  • green beans
  • cabbage
  • cauliflower
  • snow peas
  • edemame
  • mushrooms
  • asparagus
  • sprouts
  • bell peppers

Can I Add a Protein to this Dish?

You can absolutely add protein to this vegetarian dish. You’ll want to fully cook your protein before you add in your veggies to stir fry. Consider adding chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, or eggs to this ramen stir fry recipe.

Ramen Stir Fry Sauce

Did I mention that I created a sauce for this dish using some Asian condiments, sesame oil, and water, along with some of the flavored seasoning packets that come with the ramen? These ingredients create a light, slightly sweet, and flavorful sauce that pairs really well with the noodles and veggies. We obviously didn’t hate it.

What can I use Instead of Mr.Yoshida Sauce?

Mr.Yoshida Sauce can be found either in the condiment section or the Asian section at most grocery stores. If you can’t find it, no big deal! Simply replace with a yummy teriyaki sauce like this one or this one. Or if you need a quick fix, use a little more hoisin sauce.

    I made this tonight and may have overcooked the noodles which seemed soggy. The favor was ok but nothing to rave about. I used teriyaki and added chicken. Won’t be making again.

    This recipe is the bomb. We loved it. Used carrots, celery and broccoli for veggies. I did add some rotisserie chicken and doubled the sauce. It was delicious. My granddaughter even marked her leftovers in the fridge ” do not eat this is mine.”

    I was looking for a way to get my kids to eat a good portion of veggies, and this was it! It was SOO good and we ate it all! My 4 year old asked for seconds and that never happens! Thank you for creating family friendly recipes, my 2 year old even helped cook!!

    Making tonight, with a couple modifications! Mr yoshida sauce is a sweet teriyaki type sauce, called sweet and savory, you can buy in bulk at Costco, as well as small bottles in grocery stores. There are other flavors as well, but the sweet and savory is to die for! Might be more widely available here in Oregon because the Yoshida’s are from Troutdale!

    1. Liz Mersman

      Anyone looking for Mr Yoshida sauce, you should try the simmer sauces that you can find in most grocery stores. I use this one: https://www.fooducate.com/product/Safeway-Select-Simmer-Sauce-Sesame-Ginger/42534528-85F2-11E2-9B11-1231381A4CEA

      It’s a pretty good replacement for cheap cost.

    Made this tonight and it was a hit! Used carrots, celery, and broccoli, and added in chicken. I also had to make a homemade hoisin sauce as I forgot to add this to my grocery list. Super nummy!

  9. Emily Fletcher

    When I was a teacher, we made something similar to this. Ramen noodles are a nice shortcut, but you can still make healthy meals with it.

      oh my gosh, think I ate 75% of this : ( Delish. I found Mr. Yoshida sauce near the marinades, ketchup etc. NOT the Asian/Oriental aisle. Odd but glad I found.

    Can’t wait to try this! I have a bunch of store bought ramen noodles waiting to be eaten, and this is the perfect recipe!

  13. Teresa

    I was just on Amazon looking for a Wok, hubby Christmas gift, and got overwhelmed by the choices/reviews. Do you have one that you would recommend? Great timing on an Asian recipe, Thanks!

    I made this last night! It was super easy and so delicious. I couldn’t find Mr. Yoshida sauce, so I got PF Chang’s teriyaki sauce instead and used 1/3 cup of that with 1/3 of hoisin. It was yummy! Thanks for the recipe.

  15. jackie

    I agree with Valerie’s comment and ask the same question….what is Mr Yoshida sauce.. maybe it’s not available in Canada what would be a good substitute?

  16. Stephanie Freeman

    This looks so delish, I am totally adding to my menu for next week. Can i use any teriyaki sauce in place of the Mr. Yoshida sauce?

  17. Tiphanie

    I would probably substitute the packaged ramen noodles for the fresh ones found in the refrigerated section at some grocery stores or your local Asian market. My kids do love the packaged ramen noodles, though!

    For those asking about Yoshida’s sauce, my local Coscto has Yoshida’s Sauce, but you can also find it in the Asian section of your local grocery store. If they don’t have it, it’s most comparable to a teriyaki type flavored sauce. It’s sweeter than soy sauce or oyster sauce, since it has sugar and HFCS.

    1. Lauren

      Sure, though I can’t guarantee how good it will be since we usually only buy the chicken kind. (I’m sure it will be fine, but I’m just covering my bases.)

  18. Marissa

    I’m going to try to start commenting more, like you asked on Insta 🙂
    This looks so good! My husband loves any kind of Asian food so I think it will be right up his alley.
    I do have a question, I’ve never heard of Mr. Yoshida’s sauce. I googled it and it seems there are different flavors. Did you use the original? Is there anything I could use as a substitute for that?

  19. Nina

    That sounds and looks delicious. I love Ramen.
    Just one question. What is Mr Yoshida sauce? I don’t think that’s available to me here in Germany (added: it is, at Amazon, for about 110$…uhm, no). Do you have any ideas for substitutions?

  20. Kristen

    This looks great! I’m trying to figure out dinner for tomorrow and I think this may be it! Question though – What is Mr. Yoshida sauce? We live in Canada I don’t recall seeing that at my local grocery store (though I may have just missed it). Thanks!

    1. Diane Smith

      You can replace it with Sweet Baby Ray’ s sweet Teriyaki sauce or look it up online and make Mr. Yoshida sauce (which is made from soya sauce, lots of sugar and other ingredients)
