The Fastest, Most Budget-Friendly Dinner Ever
We love a great kitchen hack—you know the kind. Smart little tricks that make getting dinner on the table just a bit easier, or a bit fast. Or both! Our latest obsession? Ramen noodle recipes without the seasoning packet! There’s nothing more budget-friendly than a pack of ramen noodles, but they’re not the healthiest thing in the world. Why? That super sodium-laded seasoning packet, primarily. So, just ditch the salty powder, and use the noodles to make something delicious, like these sesame garlic ramen noodles! The noodles themselves are pretty plain, which means they’re incredibly versatile.
What Sauce is Good With Ramen Noodles?
We’re really into this simple sesame-garlic sauce—dinner just doesn’t get yummier or easier than this. In essence, it’s a very basic stir-fried noodle recipe—no veggies or meat, even! Just ramen noodles, stir-fried in a yummy sauce. Here’s what’s in our delicious garlic ramen stir-fry sauce:
- Soy sauce
- Oyster sauce
- Rice vinegar
- Brown sugar
- Chili sauce, like sambal oelek or sriracha
- Garlic
- Ginger
How To Make Sesame Garlic Noodles
OK this sesame ramen noodle stir-fry really is about as easy as can be. If you can make instant ramen, you can make these saucy sesame garlic ramen noodles.
- Cook the ramen noodles.
- Whisk together the garlicky ramen sauce.
- Stir-fry a little ginger and garlic in sesame oil and then pour in the prepared sauce.
- Simmer the ramen sauce to thicken it a bit, and meld the flavors.
- Stir-fry the cooked ramen noodles in the simmering sauce until the noodles are coated and then when you just can’t take it anymore...
- Serve & eat up!
