(Save thosefor the grill!)
I just discard the seasoning packet.
Dont worry; our homemade sauce is much better!
Nick Evans
That said, you could use a wide range of noodles for this dish.
You could use six to eight ounces of fresh ramen or udon noodles.
Even soba noodles would work okay.
Nick Evans
Personally, though, I love the texture and the ease of using the basic ramen noodles.
The recipe makes a lot of sauce.
I like this recipe to be pretty saucy, like you would get from a Chinese takeout box.
Nick Evans
Add more if you think it needs more.
If you do have leftover sauce, it keeps fine in the fridge for a week.

Whisk in cornstarch last, and attempt to whisk out as many lumps as possible.
This makes a lot, because I like this dish to be very saucy.
You could halve the recipe if you like a drier stir fry.
Nick Evans
Cook dry ramen noodles in boiling water until they are tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Drain the noodles and rinse with cold water to stop them from cooking.
In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Nick Evans
Season the steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Once the skillet is glistening hot, add the steak strips.
Cook for about 3 minutes, undisturbed, to allow them to sear well on one side.
Nick Evans
Then stir and continue to cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the steak is cooked through.
Remove the steak from skillet, and add another tablespoon of olive oil and the broccoli florets.
Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and cover.
Nick Evans
Steam broccoli for 2 minutes.
Broccoli should be bright green and tender, and not mushy at all.
Add the steak back to the skillet, along with cooked and rinsed noodles.
Pour in all of the sauce.
Use tongs or a large rubber spatula to stir together ingredients as sauce cooks.
Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until sauce thickens.
Serve stir fry immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and, optionally, sriracha.
