Equipment
Ingredients
- 200 g (2 packs) ramen noodles (£0.60x2)=(1.20)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced (£0.69/3)=(£0.23)
- 1 bunch of fresh coriander, stalks finely chopped (£0.55)
- 3 spring onions, finely chopped (£0.50)
- 2 bulbs pak choi, steamed to serve (£1.00)
Cupboard Essential
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp heaped chilli flakes
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 tbsp rapeseed oil
Instructions
- Add the garlic, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, ground ginger, chilli flakes, soy sauce, coriander stalks and spring onion (reserve some for garnish) to a heat resistant bowl.
- Meanwhile cook the noodles in boiling water for around 5 minutes (or according to packet instructions)
- Heat the rapeseed oil until sizzling hot. You can tell that the rapeseed is hot enough when it travels around the pan quickly if you rotate it slightly.
- Add the piping hot oil into the bowl with the seasoning. Stir to combine and fold in the noodles. Season with salt if necessary.
- Serve with steamed pak choi, coriander and reserved spring onion and an extra sprinkle of chilli flakes
Notes
- Add different toppings to add variety to your dish like sliced pork or chicken, soft-boiled eggs, bamboo shoots, mangetout, mushrooms, and corn.
- Adjust spiciness: Tailor the chili oil to your taste by reducing chili flakes or opting for a milder variety. Add fresh chili peppers or a drizzle of chili sauce for more heat.
- Don't overcook the noodles! Avoid mushy noodles by following package instructions, then drain and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.
