Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 170 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 75 grams onions, sliced
- 1/2 tbsp garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (or any other hot sauce)
- 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 packs Maggi or ramen noodles (uncooked, discard the spice pack)
- 3 cups water
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup spring onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Sauté garlic and onions: In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sliced onions, sautéing for a few minutes until the onions are lightly cooked and the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Cook mushrooms: Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook until the mushrooms turn a light golden brown color, releasing their moisture and concentrating their flavor.
- Add sauces and seasonings: Stir in 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking on medium heat for about 2 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to caramelize and the flavors to meld.
- Cook noodles: Add the uncooked Maggi or ramen noodles to the pan, followed by 3 cups of water. Increase the heat to high and cook until the noodles are fully cooked and have absorbed the flavors, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Finish with spring onions: Once the noodles are cooked, fold in the chopped spring onions. Cook for an additional minute to warm through and distribute the fresh flavor evenly.
- Serve and garnish: Transfer the mushroom ramen noodles into serving bowls. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top for added texture and nutty flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Discard the seasoning packets that come with ramen or Maggi noodles to control sodium and customize flavors.
- You can substitute mushrooms with other vegetables like bell peppers or bok choy for variety.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of sriracha sauce.
- For a protein boost, add tofu or boiled eggs as a topping.
- Use gluten-free noodles if you prefer a gluten-free version.
