Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (without seasoning packets)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce or sriracha
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 egg (optional)
Garnish
- Green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the ramen noodles according to the package directions, typically boiling for 3 minutes until tender. Drain well and set aside to avoid sogginess.
- Sauté Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Add Sauces: Stir in the soy sauce and chili garlic sauce (or sriracha) into the skillet, mixing well to combine with the garlic and oil.
- Toss Noodles: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet and toss thoroughly to evenly coat the noodles with the spicy sauce mixture.
- Cook Egg (Optional): Crack the egg directly into the skillet and gently stir it into the noodles, cooking until the egg is fully set and incorporated, adding richness and protein.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- For extra protein, add tofu cubes or cooked chicken pieces along with the noodles.
- Adjust the heat level by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili garlic sauce or by adding a drizzle of chili oil.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce to make the dish gluten-free.
