15 Minute Sesame Ramen
Description
Starting with cooked ramen noodles (discarding flavor packets), the recipe calls for sautéing garlic and grated ginger in coconut oil, building an aromatic base. Brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili garlic paste are added to create a balanced mixture of sweet, salty, tangy, and mildly spicy flavors. Toasted sesame oil is stirred in off heat to retain its nutty aroma.
The cooked noodles are then tossed in this sauce to evenly coat them, absorbing the savory flavors. Finished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, the dish offers a satisfying texture contrast and a vibrant look. The cooking process takes only about 15 minutes, making it a convenient option for a quick, flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 1 ramen noodles flavor packet discarded
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ teaspoon ginger freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil toasted
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- sesame seeds toasted, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Cook the ramen noodles according to the directions on the package. This only takes 2 to 3 minutes! I like to get all of my other ingredients out while waiting for the water to boil.
- While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the coconut oil and once melted, stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, then stir in the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and chili garlic paste. Turn off the heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil. Add the noodles to the skillet and toss well to coat.
- Serve the noodles with lots of green onions and sesame seeds on top.
