- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cups water
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Add the instant ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, or according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the noodles and set aside.
In the same pot, add the frozen green peas to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside with the noodles.
In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, reserved noodle cooking water, and optional red pepper flakes. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the drained noodles and cooked green peas to the skillet. Toss well to coat evenly in the sesame-soy sauce mixture.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the noodles. Toss gently to combine.
Remove from heat and serve immediately in bowls. Garnish with additional sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
