Edamame. Go for frozen shelled edamame, which is very convenient to use. And you can use the leftover for snacking or append to any other Asian recipes. But this is optional, skipping this one will not ruin the recipe.

Soy sauce. Can we ever imagine an Asian recipe without Soy sauce? and it plays absolutely well in this dish as well. Dark or light soy sauce? Dark soy sauce is thick and has bold and intense flavors.

Whereas light soy sauce is thin and rich, blends beautifully with the other added ingredients. I prefer to use light soy sauce for this dish.

Chili garlic sauce. A very important ingredient to make this dish spicy and hot, which does also provides a pleasing red color. This store-bought sauce, loaded with vinegar and garlic already.

And definitely this is not to be substituted with red pepper flakes. Since these two are completely different.

Green onion. Garnishing ingredient, the fresh green onion makes it refreshing in every sip unimaginably. Gives a professional chef's touches to the bowl of spicy ramen noodles recipe.
