How To Make Spicy Ramen Noodles?

Cook the noodles and vegetables. Add broth to a pan over medium heat. Combine the ramen noodles and vegetables. Cook until the ramen is cooked according to the package's instructions.

Add the flavors. Add soy sauce, chili, and garlic sauce to the same mixture, and stir until all the ingredients combine.

Garnish. Transfer it to individual serving bowls. Garnish by sprinkling chopped green onion.

Serve. Serve hot. Choose flat-surfaced bowls for servings; this makes the dish cool as we eat.

The Recipe Tips & Tricks

• The vegetables would be crisp and perfect if cooked for about minutes over medium heat. If your noodles' package instructions call for more cooking time, add the vegetables when the noodles have four more minutes to cook.
• The heat of the chili paste varies with the brand. Therefore, test and taste are preferred before adding the amount specified in the spicy ramen noodles recipe.
• When you feel ramen noodles are super spicy, add a blob of butter or coconut milk, which can greatly compensate for the heat.
• Alternatively, to balance the heat, add a teaspoon of brown sugar. This will balance and enhance the taste of this spicy ramen recipe.
• Add the noodles when the broth starts boiling to keep them in shape without becoming soggy.

The Variations

• Siracha sauce. Substitute this for chili paste for super spicy sriracha ramen noodles. This is fiery hot.
• Ramen Noodles Soup. Increase the quantity of broth to serve as soup.
• Hot sauce. Are you a huge fan of hot sauce? Then, replace the chili paste with hot sauce. The taste will vary from the original, but this variation would be awesome for a spicy ramen noodles recipe.
• Chicken/shrimp. Cook chicken or shrimp in the broth to serve chicken ramen soup.

How To Store The Leftover?

You store the leftover ramen noodles soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for later use. Refrigeration helps us use the dish for four days after cooking, and freezers can help us store the dish for about three months.

This is a freezer-friendly recipe. You can make it in large batches and store it in individual pouches. Then, you can reheat it whenever needed.

To reheat, add to a pan and bring it to a boil on medium heat. Depending on the size of the quantity, you may also microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl for about 3 minutes.
