Description
At its most basic definition, a Protein Ramen Stir Fry is a fusion dish that takes the quick-cooking wheat noodles traditionally used in Japanese soups and prepares them using a Chinese stir-frying technique. Unlike the soup version, which relies on a deep, complex broth, the stir-fry version focuses on the “wok hei” or the breath of the pan. The goal is to toss the ingredients over high heat so that the sauce coats every strand of noodle without drowning them.
