What are Ramen noodles?

The Ramen noodle recipe is a Japanese dish with Chinese wheat noodles. You may check wiki for a detailed history of its origination.

How to make spicy ramen noodles

First, assemble all the items on the kitchen counter. This spicy ramen noodles recipe is super fast and you may need it one after the other in quick intervals.

So keep everything ready before you head off for cooking. This tip may be simple, but it saves you from last-minute messes. This rule applies in general to all the recipes as well.

The ingredients

Ramen noodles. You may use instant ramen noodles or Chinese wheat noodles for making this spicy Asian noodles recipe. The type of noodles is a broad spectrum, and use whichever is available to you.

Edamame. Go for frozen shelled edamame, which is very convenient to use. You can use the leftovers for snacking or append to 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 well in this dish as well. Dark or light soy sauce? Dark soy sauce is thick and has bold and intense flavors.

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

Chili garlic sauce. An essential ingredient to make this dish spicy and hot, it also provides a pleasing red color. This store-bought sauce is loaded with vinegar and garlic.

This bundle of flavors is responsible for the spicy ramen noodle's taste and flavor. This is also available in a small container in any average grocery store.

Or you may also use sriracha sauce for more flavors. Instead, you may swap with Sriracha sauce, another good alternative to the Chinese chili paste.

But this option is super fiery hot. I do not want you to turn red; add a little quantity at a time after tasting.

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

Green onion. The 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.

Soy sauce. It has sodium and balances all the ingredients together. It also brightens up the whole dish with a teaspoon of sauce.

Zucchini and broccoli. Vegetables like zucchini and broccoli pair nicely well in any Asian-style recipes. We like this combo well and feel free to choose your favorite vegetables that fit this soup recipe.

The directions.

Cook the noodles and vegetables. Over medium heat, add broth to a pan. Combine ramen noodles and vegetables. Cook until the ramen according to the package's instructions.

Add the flavors. To the same mixture, add soy sauce, chili, and garlic sauce, 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 pro tips

The vegetables would be crisp and perfect if it cooked for about minutes over medium heat. If your noodle's package instructions call for more cooking time, add the vegetables when noodles have 4 more minutes for cooking.
This recipe is to bring down the processing and cooking time. When making for a crowd, cook the ingredients separately and assemble them at the final stages.
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.
If your spicy ramen noodles turn salty, then squeeze a lemon. This will neutralize the salt and enhances the noodle's taste.
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 hot, add a teaspoon of brown sugar. This balances and enhances the taste of this spicy ramen recipe.
Add the noodles when the broth starts boiling. This makes the noodles to stay in their shape without being soggy.
Once the noodles start boiling, use a fork to separate them.
Add rice vinegar for more authentic Chinese flavors.
Drizzle a few drops of roasted sesame oil for the original Chinese taste.

The variations

Siracha sauce. Substitute this for chili paste to super spicy sriracha ramen noodles. This is fiery hot, a little is more here. So add it to choose your preference. If you like spicy food possibly you could like this variation.

Ramen Noodles Soup. Increase the quantity of the broth to make it serve as soup.

Hot sauce. Are you a huge fan of hot sauce? then replace the chili paste with hot sauce. But the taste varies from the original one, but this variation would be awesome for spicy ramen noodles recipe.

Chicken. Cook chicken in the broth to serve chicken ramen soup. Alternatively, use grilled chicken or meat to the dish.

How to store the leftover and reheat

You store the leftover ramen noodles soup in the airtight container in the refrigerator or in the freezer for use after a while. The refrigeration helps us to use 4 days from cooking. The freezers can help us to store the dish for about 3 months.

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

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