I love making Saucy Ramen Noodles on cozy evenings. This dish is quick, simple, and packed with flavor. It comforts me on those busy days when I need a pick-me-up.

My Dad, James, always enjoyed simple meals like this one. I remember standing by him in the kitchen as he stirred the noodles, filling the room with delightful scents. Those moments still inspire me every time I cook.

My Trusted Kitchen Tools

A large pot for boiling noodles
A non-stick pan for sautéing
A cutting board and knife for chopping vegetables
Measuring spoons for accuracy
A spoon for mixing

Bringing It All Together

Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat.
Sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant.
Add in your choice of vegetables and cooked tofu or mushrooms. Cook until tender.
Pour in soy sauce and mix well to combine.
Add the cooked ramen noodles to the pan and stir until everything is coated in the sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with green onions.

Making It Your Own (Swaps & Ideas)

Feel free to mix up the veggies based on what you have. Spinach, snap peas, or even sweet corn can work great too. If you want a spicy kick, add some chili flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce. You can also swap out the ramen noodles for a different type of noodle or rice for a gluten-free option.

How We Love to Serve It

We enjoy serving this dish warm and freshly made. A sprinkle of green onions on top adds a nice touch. It’s perfect on its own or paired with a side salad for a complete meal.

A Few Tips For Success

Make sure not to overcook the noodles; they should be firm when you add them to the pan. If you want a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of coconut milk or a bit of peanut butter. Adjust the soy sauce to your taste; you can always add more if needed.

Saving Some For Later

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay good for about 2-3 days. When reheating, a splash of water can help revive the dish. Cook it on low heat to avoid overcooking the noodles again.
