Ramen Stir-Fry

Submitted by Melanie McAllister

I have not tried this recipe, but it looks easy and different. Ramen Noodles are always so boring that I thought this was a nice way to liven them up. I got this in an email from the Betty Crocker website for dinners UNDER 300 calories. I am not sure if you consider this low fat, but at least it is something quick.

Prep Time:25 min
Start to Finish:25 min
Makes:4 servings

1 pound beef boneless sirloin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups water
1 package (3 ounces) Oriental-flavor ramen noodle soup mix
1 package (16 oz) fresh stir-fry vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots, snow pea pods and bell peppers) (4 cups)
1/4 cup stir-fry sauce

1. Remove fat from beef. Cut beef into thin strips. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef in oil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown. Remove beef from skillet; keep warm.

2. In same skillet, heat water to boiling. Break up noodles from soup mix into water; stir until slightly softened. Stir in vegetables.

3. Heat to boiling. Boil 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in contents of seasoning packet from soup mix, stir-fry sauce and beef. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until hot.
