💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and often more affordable than beef.

ramen noodles

🥗Healthier: whole grain noodles

💰Cheaper: instant noodles

Whole grain noodles offer more fiber, while instant noodles are cheaper.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: liquid aminos

Tamari is gluten-free, while liquid aminos can be less salty.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier, while canola oil is a cost-effective substitute.

Prepare the sauce by mixing warm water, light brown sugar, grated ginger, grated garlic, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and cornstarch in a bowl.

Slice the flank steak or top sirloin into thin strips.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced beef to the skillet and stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the broccoli and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.

Add the prepared sauce to the skillet and stir well.

Add the cooked instant ramen noodles and 2-3 Tbsp of water to the skillet; toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Serve with sesame seeds if desired.
