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
Others
- 2 packs maggi or ramen noodles (uncooked, discard the spice pack)
- 3 cups water
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a pan, add regular oil, chopped garlic, and sliced onions. Sauté over medium heat for a few minutes until the onions are lightly cooked and the garlic releases a fragrant aroma.
- Cook Mushrooms: Add sesame oil and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook until the mushrooms turn a light golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add Sauces and Seasoning: Stir in sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes on medium heat, allowing the mushrooms to caramelize and the flavors to meld.
- Cook Noodles: Add the uncooked maggi or ramen noodles and pour in 3 cups of water. Increase the heat to high and cook the noodles in the sauce and water mixture until fully cooked and tender.
- Finish with Garnish: Mix in the chopped spring onions and cook for an additional one minute to let the flavors combine.
- Serve: Transfer the mushroom ramen noodles into serving bowls. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for extra flavor and crunch. Serve hot.
Notes
- Discard the seasoning packets from the maggi or ramen noodles to avoid overpowering the dish with salt and artificial flavors.
- You can adjust the spice level by modifying the amount of sriracha sauce or substituting with your preferred hot sauce.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vegetable broth instead of water when cooking the noodles.
- To make this dish vegan, ensure that the hoisin and soy sauces used are vegan-friendly as some brands may contain animal products.
- This recipe works well as a quick lunch or dinner and can be doubled for more servings.
