- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 stalk green onion
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the instant ramen noodles and the seasoning packet that comes with it. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the noodles have softened.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the frozen mixed vegetables. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Step 4
Drain most of the water from the saucepan, leaving just a small amount to act as a light broth (about 2-3 tablespoons).
Step 5
Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, and sriracha (if using). Mix well to evenly coat the noodles.
Step 6
Open the canned tuna, drain the water, and flake the tuna into the saucepan. Stir gently to combine and warm the tuna for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Finely slice the green onion and sprinkle it over the top of the dish as a garnish.
Step 8
Transfer the tuna ramen to a bowl and serve hot. Enjoy your quick and hearty college-friendly meal!
