Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 170 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 75 grams onions, sliced
- 1/2 tbsp garlic, chopped
- 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
- 2 packs Maggi or ramen noodles (uncooked, discard the spice pack)
- 3 cups water
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup spring onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Sauté aromatics: In a pan, add oil, chopped garlic, and sliced onions. Sauté for a few minutes on medium heat until the onions become lightly cooked and the garlic releases its fragrance.
- Cook mushrooms: Add sesame oil and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Continue cooking until the mushrooms turn a light golden brown color, indicating they have released their moisture and achieved a nice caramelization.
- Add sauces and seasonings: Stir in the sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, along with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 2 minutes on medium heat, allowing the mushrooms to caramelize further and the flavors to meld together.
- Cook noodles: Add the uncooked Maggi or ramen noodles and 3 cups of water to the pan. Increase heat to high and cook until the noodles are fully cooked and have absorbed the flavors, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Finish with spring onions: Stir in chopped spring onions, mixing well. Cook for an additional one minute to incorporate the fresh flavor.
- Serve: Transfer the mushroom ramen noodles to serving bowls. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Discard the spice packs that come with the Maggi or ramen noodles to control the flavor of the dish.
- You can adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of sriracha or hot sauce used.
- For a vegan version, ensure that the noodles and sauces used do not contain animal products.
- Use fresh mushrooms for best taste; button mushrooms or cremini work well.
- To enhance the texture, you can add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas.
- This recipe yields 2 servings, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
