Description

This 10 Minute Sesame Garlic Ramen Noodles recipe is a quick and flavorful dish perfect for a speedy meal. It combines dry instant ramen noodles with a savory sesame garlic sauce, enhanced with green onions, chili flakes, and toasted sesame seeds for added texture and depth of flavor. The stir-fry technique ensures the noodles are perfectly coated and deliciously seasoned, making it an ideal choice for a satisfying yet simple weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Ramen Noodles

  • 2 cakes dry instant ramen noodles (140 g)

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onion (or scallion) stalks (thinly sliced, keep green and white parts separate)
  • 5 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes or coarse chili powder
  • 2 tablespoon white sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (vegetarian oyster sauce can be used)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  1. Toast sesame seeds: Heat a pan over medium heat and continuously stir the white sesame seeds until they turn golden brown. Remove promptly to avoid burning and transfer the toasted seeds to a bowl.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together light soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and cornstarch (if using) until fully combined. Set aside.
  3. Cook the ramen noodles: Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add the dry instant ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically 2-3 minutes. Once cooked, drain using a colander and set aside.
  4. Stir-fry aromatics: Heat sesame oil in a pan over low heat, add the white parts of the green onions and minced garlic, and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
  5. Add chili flakes: Stir in chili flakes to the aromatics, mixing well to combine flavors.
  6. Simmer sauce: Pour the prepared sauce into the pan and simmer gently until it thickens slightly, which usually takes a couple of minutes.
  7. Toss noodles in sauce: Add the drained ramen noodles to the pan, stirring gently to coat the noodles thoroughly with the sauce.
  8. Finish and serve: Add the green parts of the scallions and toasted sesame seeds, give a quick mix to incorporate everything evenly. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Toasting the sesame seeds enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch to the dish.
  • Vegetarian oyster sauce can be used as an alternative to traditional oyster sauce for a vegetarian-friendly version.
  • Cornstarch is optional but helps to thicken the sauce for better coating on the noodles.
  • If you prefer less heat, adjust or omit the chili flakes based on your spice tolerance.
  • Using fresh garlic and green onions is key to the aromatic profile of the dish.
