Description

This quick and easy recipe for sesame garlic ramen noodles is ready in 15 minutes.

Ingredients

1 (3 1/2 ounce) package ramen noodles (flavor packet discarded)
1 1/4 cups water, divided
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 pinch toasted sesame seeds
1 pinch black sesame seeds

Directions

1 Add water minus 2 tablespoons to a saute pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook ramen in the boiling water until softened, about 3 minutes.
2 Keep water at a simmer, using tongs to carefully flip noodles over. Noodles should be soft and come apart fairly easily.
3 Once water has nearly evaporated, add sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add reserved 2 tablespoons water, Sriracha, and hoisin sauce; mix well with noodles. Serve immediately topped with red pepper flakes, toasted sesame seeds, and black sesame seeds.
