Ingredients

Ramen Noodles

  • 1 package (3 oz) dry instant ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet)

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon white part of green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil Water: Heat water in a pan or pot until it reaches a rolling boil, preparing to cook the noodles.
  2. Cook Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente (tender), making sure not to use the seasoning packet.
  3. Reserve Cooking Water: Before draining, scoop out ¼ cup of the noodle cooking water and set it aside to add flavor and moisture to the sauce later.
  4. Mix Sauce: Whisk together the soy sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved, then set aside.
  5. Sauté Aromatics: In a pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped white parts of the green onion and garlic, sautéing for about one minute until fragrant.
  6. Add Spice: Stir in the chili flakes, mixing well to infuse the oil and aromatics with heat.
  7. Combine Sauce and Water: Pour the prepared soy sauce and brown sugar mixture into the pan along with the reserved noodle water; stir to combine all the flavors into a cohesive sauce.
  8. Toss Noodles: Add the drained ramen noodles into the pan and gently toss everything together, ensuring each strand is coated evenly with the spicy sauce.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped green onion on top as garnish and serve the spicy ramen hot for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Discard the seasoning packet from the instant noodles to control the flavor and sodium content of the dish.
  • Adjust chili flakes according to your preferred spice level for a milder or hotter ramen.
  • Using reserved noodle water adds thickness and body to the sauce, enhancing flavor absorption.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed immediately for optimal noodle texture and freshness.
  • For a vegetarian version, ensure soy sauce does not contain fish products.
