Quick Sesame Shrimp Ramen Stir-fry

Cook ramen according to package directions. Drain, rinse, and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons sesame oil, fish sauce, and sambal oelek. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. When skillet is hot, add remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, garlic, carrots, and broccolini. Stir right away and take care to not brown or burn the garlic. Sauté until carrots and broccolini are tender enough to pierce with a fork, but still crisp, approximately 5 minutes.

Add shrimp and sauté until shrimp is cooked through, approximately 2 minutes.

With a spatula, move vegetables and shrimp to the sides of the skillet and add egg. Treat it like you would a scrambled egg, stirring it occasionally, until it breaks off into fluffy chunks, approximately 1–2 minutes.

Toss drained ramen noodles into the skillet. Stir in the sesame sauce mixture and carefully toss until noodles are coated and heated through. Taste, and if needed, add a bit more sesame oil and/or sambal oelek. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and sprouts.

Serve warm.
