# Steps to Follow:

03 - Add oil to the skillet along with garlic, onions, carrots, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5 minutes.
04 - Add bell peppers and cabbage to the pan and cook for 2 additional minutes.
05 - Pour in the prepared sauce, bring to a boil to thicken slightly, then reduce heat to a simmer.
06 - Stir in cooked ramen noodles and browned ground beef. Mix thoroughly and heat through.
07 - Top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or chopped peanuts before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Using both chicken and beef broth enhances depth of flavor, but either can be used alone.
02 - Broccoli, celery, baby corn, green beans, and snow peas make great additions.
03 - Ramen brands like Maruchan or Top Ramen work well; discard the seasoning packet.
04 - Scrambled eggs can be stirred in at the end for added protein and texture.
05 - Use Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or Sauvignon Blanc to deglaze, or replace with broth if preferred.
