Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 servings of ramen noodles
- 4 tbsp neutral oil
- 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 scallions finely chopped, plus more for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Cook the ramen noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions (about 3 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Chili Oil: While the noodles are cooking, place the crushed red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and minced ginger in a large heat-proof bowl. Heat the oil in a small saucepan until it's very hot but not smoking, then carefully pour the hot oil over the ingredients in the bowl.
- Toss the Noodles: Add the cooked and drained noodles to the chili oil in the bowl, and drizzle in the soy sauce. Add the chopped scallions and toss until everything is well combined.
- Serve: Divide the noodles between two bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.

Notes
Don't discard the little soup base packets. Save them to use as instant bouillon for another dish that could use a flavor boost (like when you're making soup or gravy, instead of adding more salt, add a little of this packet for a little je-ne-sais-quoi amp up).
