Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
• 1 pinch toasted sesame seeds
• 1 (3.5 ounce) package ramen noodles (flavor packet discarded)
• 1 pinch black sesame seeds

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Add water minus 2 tablespoons to a saute pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook ramen in the boiling water until softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Keep water at a simmer, using tongs to carefully flip noodles over. Noodles should be soft and come apart fairly easily.

Step 3

Once water has nearly evaporated, add sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add reserved 2 tablespoons water, Sriracha, and hoisin sauce; mix well with noodles. Serve immediately topped with red pepper flakes, toasted sesame seeds, and black sesame seeds.
