Tips & Substitutions

You can also substitute the California Blend vegetables with any frozen stir-fry mix you have on hand. If you're pressed for time, consider using the seasoning from a package of Microwave Sweet And Sour Chicken to enhance flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry is best served hot and can be complemented with a side of steamed rice or crispy egg rolls. For an extra crunch, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top before serving. It pairs beautifully with Chinese recipes like Teriyaki Wing Dings for a complete meal experience.
