Easy Restaurant Style Ramen Dinner Recipe

If you head to your favorite Asian cuisine restaurant, you can probably find a noodle stir-fry on the menu. Unfortunately, that requires a whole lot more time than you might have this evening and it will cost significantly more than the 99-cent package of ramen you can pick up on your way home or might already have stashed in your cabinet. Using the seasoning packet included in the package won't give you the restaurant experience. Therefore, toss out the seasoning packet, and make your savory garlic sauce instead.

How to Make Sesame Garlic Ramen Noodles

Start by following the instructions on the package to cook the noodles. Just leave out the seasoning packet. Then, whisk together all of the liquid sauce ingredients. In a pan heated to medium heat, stir-fry the garlic and the ginger. Once the garlic and ginger are cooked, add the sauce. Simmer the sauce for several minutes to melt the flavors together and let it thicken. Finally, toss in the cooked noodles and stir-fry them until they are coated in the garlic sauce. Your quick dinner recipe is now ready to eat.

If you have the time and you want to make your ramen even fancier, you can add in other ingredients. Mushrooms, broccolini, green onions, or even a soft-boiled egg can add an extra layer of authenticity to your meal.
