Seafood Stir-Fry Ramen Noodles

Instant ramen is all-too-familiar for many university students. However, instant ramen noodles can get boring, so I decided to challenge myself and spice it up. I was inspired by asian stir fried noodles that are quite common in many Chinese food restaurants. So, I decided to replicate one using ramen noodles instead of rice noodles.

Step 1: Ingredients

* 2 packs of Ramen Noodles

* Korean Fishballs

* Imitation Crabmeat

* Carrots, Bell Peppers, and other vegetables in your fridge

* Slice the crabmeat to quarters, once lengthwise and once laterally.

* Slice the fishballs to small pieces like shown above

Step 3: Boil the Ramen Noodles

* In a pot boil water using medium heat.

* Once boiling, add the dried instant ramen noodles to the pot of boiling water.

* Add the dried vegetables mix into the noodle-hot-water mix along with the carrots and bell peppers

* Turn off when the noodles are soft and drain the water

Step 4: Pan Fry the Seafood

* Heat up a small non stick pan on medium heat

* Add a couple of teaspoons of cooking oil

* Pan fry the crabmeat and fishballs until cooked, then set aside.

Step 5: Fry the Noodles

Step 6: Add the Seafood and Condiments
