Dragon Noodles is one of my favorite back-pocket recipes for busy weeknights.  It’s ready in 30 minutes or less and delivers bold, spicy flavors I can’t get enough of!

You can cook the instant ramen noodles with whatever odds and ends you have in the fridge or go all out like in my version. Along with the shrimp, chicken, and eggs, I loaded up the stir-fried noodles with carrots, cabbage, and bean sprouts for a complete meal.

Feel free to add or substitute your favorite proteins and vegetables, such as BBQ pork (char sui), thinly-sliced beef sirloin, broccoli florets, snow peas, green onions, bell peppers, and bok choy.

You’ll be amazed at how a simple sauce and add-ins can turn your pantry’s lowly ramen noodle packages into a special meal worthy of guests.

Cooking the noodles

  • Do not overcook the noodles. Boil them a minute or two shy of the package directions as they continue to cook when stir-fried with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Not a big fan of ramen? Swap with linguine, spaghetti, or lo mein noodles.

Quick tip

Try to find Indomie instant noodles if you can at Walmart, Target, Asian supermarkets, or online. This brand of ramen is made specifically for stir-frying and has a better texture.

Stir-frying

  • Cook the eggs until set but still wet, as they will continue to cook when added to the final stir-frying.
  • The stir-frying process is quick, so have your ingredients prepped and ready to go. Cut them in uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a wok or a wide pan with high sides for easy and less messy stir-frying. Use tongs for tossing the ingredients together to lessen noodle breakage.

Serving suggestions

Dragon noodles are a hearty lunch or dinner meal. Serve with lemon wedges to help brighten flavors and cut through the richness, or spiciness in this case, of the dish.

Storage and reheating instructions

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave at 2 to 3-minute intervals until completely heated, stirring well between intervals.

    This looks fabulous. I am pinning it to my recipe file so that I can make it in a couple months when I am back on regular carbs. It really looks yummy right now, though!

    Ugh! This looks so good, but hubby wouldn’t eat it if I made it. I love how you use (mostly) budget friendly items and I could completely see other variations of this being outstanding as well. However, I don’t get to do things like this very often cause hubby doesn’t like it.

    Gosh, this looks delicious! I would probably do it with only vegetables as I gave up meat a month ago.

      Hello Sia

      Another beauty of this noodle dish is, it’s adaptable. You can easily swap the meat and seafood with pan-fried firm tofu for your protein 🙂
