Healthy Top Ramen?

Who could forget the classic childhood soup... Top Ramen?! Oh how I loved those noodles packed with sodium... I used to add more salt and hot sauce to make it extra delicious and unhealthy- haha! Well, I had a craving for this old-school food, but there was no way I was going to eat all of those preservatives and salt, so I modified it and I was pleasantly surprised at this creation!!! I did stick with the original, yummy, long noodles but I packed them with quality protein and nutritious veggies. It was such a fun re-creation. Here's my recipe!



HEALTHY RAMEN STIR-FRY
What you need:
1LB chicken breast, cut into cubes
2 packs Ramen noodles, cooked and drained (no powder packet)
1TBSP low sodium soy sauce
2TBSP low sodium stir-fry sauce
1TBSP minced ginger
2tsp minced garlic
Veggies of choice: I used chopped carrots, bok choy, mushrooms & onion
2TBSP olive oil
optional: garlic powder, Sriracha (Asian chili sauce)

How to:
Saute onion & carrots in oil for about five minutes. Add chicken, garlic, ginger, soy sauce & stir-fry sauce. Cook about 5 minutes. Then add bok choy and mushrooms (these both cook faster than onion and carrots). Optional: add a little Asian chili hot sauce. Cook until chicken is done. Add drained noodles and toss. If needed, add a little more soy or stir-fry sauce.
