Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 2 packets (3 ounces each) Ramen Noodles (seasoning packet discarded)
Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha
Optional Garnish
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Begin by cooking the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, but do not use the seasoning packets. Once cooked, drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside.
- Heat Sesame Oil: Place a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Allow it to warm up to release its nutty aroma.
- Cook Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir constantly, cooking for about 2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden but not burnt.
- Make Sauce: Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sriracha until all ingredients are well combined to form a flavorful sauce.
- Toss Noodles with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked noodles and toss thoroughly to evenly coat every strand.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped green onions on top for added freshness and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Discard the seasoning packets from the ramen noodles as they contain unnecessary sodium and flavors.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Using low sodium soy sauce helps reduce the overall salt content.
- For extra protein, consider adding cooked chicken, tofu, or a soft-boiled egg.
- Garnishing with green onions or sesame seeds enhances both flavor and presentation.
