There is something so satisfying about a big bowl of noodles that comes together in just a few minutes. I love this recipe because it uses basic pantry staples to create a flavor that tastes like it came from your favorite local takeout spot.

My best tip for this recipe is to keep a close eye on the noodles while they boil. You want them to be just tender because they will finish cooking for a moment in the sauce, and nobody likes a mushy noodle.

🧺 Ingredients

2 packs instant ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce or sriracha
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package directions, usually for about three minutes.
2
While the noodles cook, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, and chili garlic sauce in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.
3
Drain the noodles and set them aside.
4
In the same pot or a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
5
Add the minced garlic to the butter and cook for about one minute until it smells fragrant and soft.
6
Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan and let it bubble for a few seconds.
7
Add the cooked noodles back into the pan and toss them well to coat everything in the sauce.
8
Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

💡 Tips

You can add cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu if you want more protein in your bowl. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat them with a tiny splash of water to keep the sauce silky.
