Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 4 blocks ramen noodles (12 oz total, flavor packets discarded)

Sauce & Garnish

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Prepare the ramen noodles according to the package directions. Be sure to discard the seasoning packets as they are not used in this recipe. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant but not browned to avoid bitterness.
  3. Add Seasonings: Stir in the brown sugar and then add the soy sauce to the skillet. Mix well to create a flavorful sauce base.
  4. Toss Noodles with Sauce: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet, tossing thoroughly to coat all the noodles evenly with the garlic sesame sauce. Cook for an additional minute to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Immediately plate the noodles and garnish generously with sliced green onions and sesame seeds to add freshness and a crunchy contrast.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Adjust soy sauce amount to taste, especially if you prefer less salty dishes.
  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil.
  • This dish is best served immediately after cooking to retain the noodles’ texture.
  • Can be customized by adding cooked vegetables or protein of choice.
