Ingredients
- 2 packages ramen noodles (8oz / 230g)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (canola, peanut, rapeseed etc)
- 5 large garlic cloves , minced
- 2 tsp chili flakes (or more, to taste)
- 1 tsp Szechuan peppercorns , lightly crushed (optional)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional - see note 1)
- 1 tbsp honey , brown sugar or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (optional)
- small bunch fresh chives , finely chopped (see note 2)
Instructions
- This quick ramen dish comes together very quickly once you have assembled all the ingredients. You will need to multitask a little bit to have the noodles ready at the same time as the spicy oil.
- Finely chop the chives or spring onions and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the chili flakes, Sichuan peppercorns, minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame seeds, honey and rice vinegar.
- Prepare your noodles. Add the ramen to boiling water and cook according to pack instructions. This usually takes about four minutes so you will need to work fast to prep the oil at the same time.
- Heat up the oil. Place the oils in a small saucepan and heat for about a minute over medium high heat until the oil starts to smoke (do not boil).
- Working quickly (and carefully) pour the hot oil into the bowl with our garlic and other ingredients. It will hit them with a satisfying sizzle. Stir together to combine.
- Drain the ramen and immediately add to the spicy oil, tossing well to combine. Garnish with the chives or spring onions and serve!

Notes
- Leave out the Oyster sauce for a vegetarian / vegan version.
- Use the green parts of spring onions instead of chives if preferred.
