Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Cook the ramen

Bring a medium sauce pot of water to a boil. Stir in the ramen and cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. While the water is heating and the ramen is cooking, prepare your protein.

Prep your protein

Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Cut the steaks against the grain into ½-inch-thick strips; season lightly with salt and pepper.
Diced chicken: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Jumbo shrimp: Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut into ½-inch cubes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Start cooking your protein

In a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes for shrimp, 2 to 4 minutes for steak, and 3 to 5 minutes for chicken or tofu. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.

While your protein is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.

Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the stir-fry

Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets; trim any coarse stems.
Trim the root ends from the scallions. Cut the white and light green parts into 2-inch lengths; thinly slice the dark green parts on the diagonal for garnish.

In the same pan used for your protein, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the broccoli and scallion pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add your protein and any accumulated juices, the stir-fry blend, carrots, honey, and ¼ cup [½ cup] water, adding more water if desired for a thinner sauce, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the vegetables are just tender and your protein is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes for shrimp and 2 to 4 minutes for all other proteins. Remove from the heat, stir in the ramen, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer your protein, vegetables, and ramen to individual bowls. Garnish with the thinly sliced scallions and serve.
