Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 170 grams mushrooms (sliced)
- 75 grams onions (sliced)
- 1/2 tbsp garlic (chopped)
- 1/4 cup spring onions
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
Main Ingredients
- 2 packs maggi or ramen noodles (uncooked & discard the spice pack)
- 3 cups water
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Garnish
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and sliced onions, sautéing for a few minutes until onions are lightly cooked and the garlic releases its aroma.
- Cook Mushrooms: Stir in 1 tbsp sesame oil and the sliced mushrooms. Continue to cook until mushrooms turn a light golden brown, indicating they are caramelized and flavorful.
- Add Sauces and Seasoning: Mix in sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture for about 2 minutes on medium heat, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the flavors and caramelize further.
- Cook Noodles: Add the uncooked Maggi or ramen noodles to the pan along with 3 cups of water. Increase heat to high and cook until the noodles are fully cooked and have absorbed the sauce, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add Spring Onions: Stir in the sliced spring onions and cook for an additional one minute to soften them slightly and blend the flavors.
- Serve: Transfer the prepared noodle dish into serving bowls. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top as a garnish and serve hot for a delicious meal.
Notes
- Discard the spice packets that come with Maggi or ramen noodles to avoid overwhelming the dish with artificial flavors.
- You can adjust the amount of sriracha sauce for desired spiciness.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free noodles.
- Adding a soft-boiled egg or tofu can enhance protein content if desired.
- Fresh mushrooms like cremini or button mushrooms work best for caramelization.
