Ingredients
- 2 packets Ramen noodles (instant, without seasoning packets)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
- 1 cup Bok choy (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (for pan-frying)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions (around 2-3 minutes). Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, red chili flakes, and 1 tablespoon of water. Set the sauce aside.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the julienned carrot and bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, or until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 6
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the cooked noodles to the empty space. Let the noodles fry undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, allowing them to crisp slightly.
Step 7
Pour the sesame sauce over the noodles and vegetables, tossing everything together to evenly coat with the sauce.
Step 8
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are hot and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sesame Fried Ramen!
