2. Dry Shin Ramen Stir-Fry
Ramen noodles make an excellent addition to stir fry recipes due to their speedy cooking time and chewy texture, similar to Chinese rice noodles. Typically made with wheat flour and kansui (kanShui), a salty alkaline liquid which gives them their distinctive flavor.
Ramen noodles come in several varieties, such as dried instant packets or fresh refrigerated ramen. Either option works perfectly in this recipe – so feel free to experiment and customize it according to your preferences!
For optimal flavor and consistency in stir-fry dishes, cut vegetables to an even size. Bell peppers should be large while carrots should be thin so that they remain crisp-tender when combined with noodles and sauce.
Before adding them to a stir fry, only cook your noodles for two minutes so that they have time to absorb the sauce and absorb all of its flavors. Be careful not to overcook your noodles as this will lead to mushy noodles that don’t taste as great.
3. Lime & Cilantro Noodles

Shin ramen is an easy and fun way to jazz up instant noodles without needing a cooking pot or stovetop. This recipe takes only 5 minutes of your time to make and will have everyone talking!
One of the most crucial steps when making shin ramen is properly cooking the noodles. Submerging them in boiling water too early can cause your noodles to clump together and have an uneven texture.
For optimal texture, add noodles when they’re just barely boiled. Doing so helps ensure that all of your noodles remain bouncy and chewy without becoming overcooked.

But the secret to making this ramen dish deliciously cheese-y is melting the cheese before adding it to the pot. Doing this prevents clumps of cheese from settling at the bottom of your pan.
This ramen hack works with both standard packet and cup noodle varieties of instant ramen. To make the soup extra creamy, try adding a corn starch slurry in with cold water for added creaminess.
