Instructions
Creating your own Sesame Garlic Ramen Noodles is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook Ramen Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and sesame oil. Set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add Noodles: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet, tossing to combine with the garlic.
5. Pour Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles, stirring to ensure even coating. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through.
6. Add Optional Ingredients: If using, add your choice of protein and vegetables at this stage. Cook until everything is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top for added flavor and presentation.
