Ingredients
Scale
Oils and Sauces
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (or any other hot sauce)
- 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 170 grams mushrooms (sliced)
- 75 grams onions (sliced)
- 1/2 tbsp garlic (chopped)
- 1/4 cup spring onions (chopped)
Noodles & Liquids
- 2 packs maggi or ramen noodles (uncooked, discard the spice pack)
- 3 cups water
Seasonings
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Garnish
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and add chopped garlic and sliced onions. Sauté on medium heat for a few minutes until the onions are lightly cooked and the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Cook Mushrooms: Add 1 tbsp sesame oil to the pan followed by the sliced mushrooms. Continue cooking until the mushrooms turn a light golden brown color, releasing their moisture and developing flavor.
- Add Sauces and Seasonings: Stir in sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook this mixture on medium heat for about 2 minutes until the mushrooms become caramelized and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Cook Noodles: Add the two packs of uncooked maggi or ramen noodles along with 3 cups of water to the pan. Increase heat to high and cook until the noodles are fully cooked and have absorbed the flavor of the broth, typically about 3-5 minutes.
- Finish with Spring Onions: Stir in the chopped spring onions and mix well. Continue cooking for an additional one minute to combine all flavors.
- Serve: Transfer the mushroom ramen noodles into serving bowls and garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- If you prefer less heat, adjust the amount of sriracha sauce or substitute with a milder chili sauce.
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and flavor; button or cremini mushrooms work well.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the maggi or ramen noodles with rice noodles or gluten-free noodles.
- To make it vegan, confirm that the hoisin and soy sauces used do not contain animal products.
- Adding a boiled egg or tofu cubes can provide extra protein and substance to the dish.
