4.8 from 118 reviews

A quick and flavorful Sesame Garlic Ramen Noodles recipe featuring tender noodles tossed in a savory garlic soy sauce with a hint of sweetness and heat, perfect for a simple yet delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 2 (3 ounce) packages of Ramen Noodles, seasoning packet discarded

Sauce

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha

Optional Garnish

  • Green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Prepare the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, omitting the seasoning packet. Once cooked, drain them well and set aside to prevent sogginess.
  2. Heat sesame oil: In a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat, warm the sesame oil to release its nutty aroma, creating the base for the sauce.
  3. Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned to avoid bitterness.
  4. Prepare the sauce: Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sriracha thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is well combined.
  5. Toss noodles with sauce: Place the drained noodles into a serving bowl and pour the hot sauce over them. Toss well to evenly coat every strand in the flavorful mixture.
  6. Garnish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped green onions on top for freshness and a mild onion flavor before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Use low sodium soy sauce for a healthier taste and to control salt levels.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to suit your preferred spice level.
  • For added crunch, consider garnishing with toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts.
  • This recipe can be enhanced by adding vegetables such as sliced bell peppers or steamed broccoli.
  • To make it vegetarian or vegan, ensure your soy sauce and sriracha contain no animal products.
