We have all heard stories about poor college students surviving on Ramon Noodles. Well, with gas at it's current price, people are trying to cut back on expenses. And this meal fits the bill.

And it tastes good too !!!!

Those of you that know me, might be surprised that I would embrace "STIR FRY". Yeah, me too.

So let's grab a refreshing adult beverage and make some STIR FRY !!!

Here is what you will need.

2 (3.5-ounce) packages instant ramen noodles, flavor packets discarded

1/3 cup beef stock

1/4 cup oyster sauce

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

1 teaspoon Sriracha, or more, to taste

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

2 green onions, thinly sliced

DIRECTIONS:

In a large pot of boiling water, cook ramen noodles until tender, about 3-4 minutes; rinse with cold water and drain well.

In a medium bowl, whisk together beef stock, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar and Sriracha.

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion, and cook until beef has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat.

Add the Onions

Stir in the garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in beef stock mixture, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the Mushrooms, and the Rice Wine Vinegar  mixture as well.

Stir in ramen noodles until heated through and evenly coated in sauce, about 1-2 minutes.
