Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups broccoli florets

1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 green onions, chopped

Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles for 2–3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
