Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 2 cakes dry instant ramen noodles (140 g)
Sesame Garlic Sauce & Toppings
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onion (or scallion) stalks (thinly sliced, keep the 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
- Toast sesame seeds: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the white sesame seeds. Stir continuously to prevent burning. Once the seeds turn golden brown, immediately transfer them to a bowl and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and cornstarch if using, until completely blended. Set the sauce mixture aside.
- Cook the ramen noodles: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the dry ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically about 3 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles using a colander and set aside.
- Saute aromatics: In a pan, heat the sesame oil over low heat. Add the white parts of the green onions along with the minced garlic. Saute for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Add chili flakes: Sprinkle in the chili flakes and stir to combine with the garlic and onions.
- Simmer the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce into the pan and let it simmer on low heat until it slightly thickens, about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Toss noodles with sauce: Add the drained ramen noodles to the pan and gently stir to coat them evenly with the sauce and aromatics.
- Finish and serve: Stir in the green parts of the scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Give everything a quick mix, then serve the ramen hot. Enjoy your flavorful sesame garlic ramen noodles!
Notes
- Toasting sesame seeds enhances their nutty flavor, so do not skip this step.

- Adjust chili flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- You can use vegetarian oyster sauce to keep the dish plant-based.
- Use fresh garlic and green onions for the best flavor and aroma.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for more servings.
