If, like me, ramen noodles are your go to speedy and straightforward meal, then I you’ll LOVE this Elevated Ramen recipe. It comes together in only about 10 minutes and results in a surprisingly well balanced meal!

I’m teaming up once again withOcean Mist to bring you this simple and flavor-packed ramen dish. I’ve been loving their Season and Steam veggies for occasions when I truly want a good meal filled with veggies BUT I don’t genuinely like prepping and cooking for a long time.

I used a bag of their Season and Steam Vegetable Medley in this dish and it only takes 3 minutes to cook. THREE! I pop it in the microwave while the noodles are simmering and I simply love how speedy this whole thing is. While I truly like the medley in this ramen, the Season and Steam Broccoli Florets or Floret Medley would also work perfectly!

A couple of years ago, I sharedthis Ramen Stir Fry using frozen vegetables and while that’s good, this version comes together even quicker and I always love when I can incorporate fresh vegetables into my meals.

Typically when I make these Season and Steam veggies, I do in fact season them a little before cooking. However, I didn’t in this case because we’re going to be tossing it all in a truly satisfying sauce. You could, however, certainly add a little salt, pepper and garlic powder to the veggies before steaming them in the microwave.

This dish is dependable for 2 hungry adults but it could easily be doubled if you’re feeding more!

Making it is as simple as cooking the noodles according to package instructions (I actually like to slightly undercook the noodles since they’ll cook in the sauce a little more). While the noodles are cooking, you can pop the veggie medley in the microwave for 3 minutes to steam.

Once those are both done, all that’s left is to cook the sauce for a couple minutes to thicken it and then toss in the cooked noodles, canned chickpeas for protein and the steamed veggies. SO especially simple but far superior to plain ramen noodles, right?

I was originally going to use the Season and Steam Broccoli Florets in this dish but I’m SO glad that I went with the Vegetable Medley. It added such nice variety and I truly love how satisfying the carrots are covered in the sauce.

Well, that’s all I have for today! If you end up making this method, please snap a photo and tag me on Instagram @! I always love to see what y’all are cooking from the blog.
