Ingredients

Noodles

  • 1 (3-oz.) pkg. any flavor ramen noodle soup mix

Sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Stir-Fry

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (2 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 (14-oz.) can baby corn nuggets, drained, rinsed

Steps

  • 1
    In medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add noodles from soup mix; boil 2 to 3 minutes or until noodles are tender. Drain; cover to keep warm. (Discard seasoning packet or reserve for another use.)
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients; mix well. Set aside.
  • 3
    Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add zucchini, onion and garlic; cook and stir 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in corn and sauce mixture. Cook 2 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and mixture is bubbly and thickened, stirring frequently. Stir in cooked noodles.

  • Although this recipe does not use the seasoning packet from the ramen soup mix, those following a vegan diet may want to look for the ramen noodle soup mixes that do not contain animal products in the seasoning.
  • Baby corn nuggets taste fresher after the salty brine is rinsed off with cold water.
