Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packs ramen noodles (instant, without seasoning packets)
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 units garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 units green onions (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes), but do not use the seasoning packets. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
While the noodles are cooking, steam the broccoli. In a separate pot or steamer, bring about 1 inch of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets, cover, and steam for 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the steamed broccoli to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic and ginger mixture.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, followed by the soy sauce mixture. Toss everything together to ensure the noodles and broccoli are evenly coated with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Broccoli Ramen Noodles!
