Ingredient Notes

• Ramen Noodles – If you can get fresh noodles, go for it. You can find dried noodles in the Asian section of your grocery store. 
• Sesame Oil – While you can substitute any cooking oil, sesame oil is loaded with flavor and will give your dish the Asian flavors you crave. 
• Green Onions – Thinly sliced green onions give your dish a mild onion flavor and cook in a flash. 
• Garlic – Use more if you prefer for a warm, spicy flavor. 
• Ginger – Fresh ginger is the best, but you can use ginger paste. It adds a zesty flavor to your ramen noodles. 
• Soy Sauce – Soy sauce adds saltiness to the dish. If you prefer less salt, look for a low sodium soy sauce. 
• Rice Wine Vinegar – Milder and a bit sweeter than white vinegar. 
• Sriracha – This spicy sauce gives this dish a kick. 
• Sesame seeds – Finish the dish with a little crunch.

Variations
