Ingredients

Noodles

  • 8 ounces ramen noodles

Sauce & Aromatics

  • ⅓ cup chopped green onion (white and light green parts only)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped green onions (white and light green parts), grated ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
  3. Prepare Sauce: To the sautéed aromatics, add the low sodium soy sauce or tamari, chili garlic sauce, sriracha, honey (or maple syrup or brown sugar), rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Whisk everything together until well combined. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the saucepan with the sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly. Allow the noodles to simmer in the sauce for a few minutes to absorb the flavors fully.
  5. Adjust and Serve: Taste the noodles and adjust the seasoning as desired, adding more sriracha or red pepper flakes for extra heat. Serve immediately topped with fresh green onions, cilantro, and extra red pepper flakes if preferred.

Notes

  • You can add your favorite protein such as tofu, ground beef, or chicken to make it more filling.
  • Adjust the level of spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of sriracha and red pepper flakes.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tamari or soy sauce.
  • Feel free to add fresh vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and texture.
