Do you use ramen flavoring in this recipe?

You will use a little of the flavoring in this recipe but not the entire packet.

Can you cook the ramen noodles in the pan instead of boiling them?

You will need to cook the noodles in hot water long enough to loosen the noodles. You can continue to pan-fry the noodles in a large skillet with the rest of the ingredients if you would like.

What other sauces can be used if Korean BBQ sauce isn't available at my local grocery store?

If Korean BBQ sauce isn't available, you can substitute it with teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, or a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic for a similar flavor profile.

Are there vegetarian alternatives to the beef in this recipe?

Absolutely! You can substitute the beef with tofu, tempeh, or seitan for a delicious vegetarian version of this stir fry.

Instructions

Add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper, then sear for 3-5 minutes on each side until cooked to your liking.
Pour Korean BBQ sauce over the steak, allowing it to caramelize for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together beef ramen flavoring, minced ginger, and soy sauce. Add this mixture to the skillet with veggies, then toss in cooked noodles until evenly combined.
