Print Recipe

A comforting and flavorful noodle dish infused with garlic and chili oil, perfect for quick dinners or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Canola or Vegetable Oil
  • 1/4 cup Garlic (minced fine)
  • 1 Shallot (sliced thin)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Korean Chili Flakes
  • 1 tbsp Ginger (peeled and grated)
  • 2 tsp White Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds (toasted, plus more for garnish)
  • 2 tsp Rice Vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce (reduced sodium)
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions (sliced, plus more for garnish)
  • 8–9 oz Dried Ramen Noodles

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, add canola oil, minced garlic, and sliced shallots. Turn the heat to low and simmer until the garlic turns a light golden brown and the shallots begin to caramelize, about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Stir in grated ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add Korean chili flakes, toasted sesame seeds, sugar, and sesame oil. Cook for another minute.
  3. Turn off the heat and stir in rice vinegar and soy sauce. Let it rest while you cook the noodles.
  4. In a large pot, bring water to a boil, add dried ramen noodles, and cook according to package directions. Drain and reserve a tablespoon of water.
  5. Add hot noodles to the bowl with the chili oil and toss to coat. Use reserved water to loosen the sauce if needed. Season with salt, if desired, and garnish with sliced green onions and more sesame seeds.

Notes

For a customizeable flavor, adjust spice level and add your favorite vegetables or proteins. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
