Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a saute pan, bring 1 1/4 cups of water (minus 2 tablespoons) to a vigorous boil over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the ramen noodles and cook until softened, approximately 3 minutes, separating the strands as they cook.

03

Step

Reduce heat to a simmer. Using tongs, gently flip the noodles to ensure even cooking and separation. (1 minute)

04

Step

Once most of the water has evaporated, introduce the sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.

05

Step

Incorporate the reserved 2 tablespoons of water, Sriracha sauce, and hoisin sauce. Toss thoroughly to coat the noodles in the luscious sauce.

06

Step

Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, toasted sesame seeds, and black sesame seeds for visual appeal and an extra layer of flavor.

For an extra layer of depth, consider using toasted sesame oil. This will enhance the nutty flavor profile.
Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your personal preference. If you're not a fan of spice, omit it entirely or use a milder chili sauce.
Feel free to add your choice of protein, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu, and vegetables such as bok choy, mushrooms, or bell peppers.

    I found it a little salty, so I reduced the hoisin sauce slightly next time.
