Ingredients
- 2 3-oz. packages dry ramen noodles
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp. water
- 1 cup water
- 6 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 Tbsp. chili garlic sauce
- 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (or, to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Chopped scallions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Unwrap ramen noodles and discard seasoning packet; set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and 2 Tbsp. water; set aside.
- In a small pot, whisk all sauce ingredients together. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Stir in cornstarch-water mixture. Simmer and stir until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Feel free to adjust seasonings to your preference. Remove from heat and cover; set aside.
- In a medium pot set to high heat, boil 6 cups water. Stir in ramen noodles. Cook noodles for about 2 minutes, until still chewy. They will continue cooking in the sauce once combined.
- Drain noodles and return to pot. Pour sauce over noodles and mix to coat well.
- Set pot to medium-high heat and cook noodles in sauce, until sauce is slightly absorbed and noodles are tender, about 3 minutes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
