You can try serving this dish as a companion to easy pepper steak or pineapple teriyaki chicken. Or, serve it up alongside garlic grilled shrimp, and make several other pretty side dishes to go with it for a fun Japanese-themed supper!
To Make Ramen Noodle Sauce
It’s best to have all your ingredients ready ahead of time so that you can just toss everything in the hot pan.
How to Toast Sesame Seeds
When it comes to sesame seeds, toasted definitely has the best flavor. You can also purchase toasted seeds to keep on hand. To start, preheat a dry skillet on medium. To save dishes, use the same pan you plan to make the noodles in.
When hot, sprinkle the raw sesame seeds in the pan and shake or move the seeds around with a spatula until they start to turn slightly brown. Watch carefully that the seeds don’t burn. This should only take about 30 seconds to a minute. Once you see a color change, scrape the seeds into a bowl immediately.
Try making enough to keep on hand in the freezer in a ziplock bag, so that next time, you can skip this step!
What to Add to Sesame Ramen Noodles
Though these noodles are so delicious they need no additions and I often serve them as a side dish but of course you can add proteins and veggies to make a ramen stir fry. Feel free to mix it up any way you choose!
Try adding in some thinly sliced beef, or some shredded chicken. Bamboo shoots or baby corn would taste so delicious! Spicy chili bean paste…why not? Add lots of broth and a soft boiled egg with a drizzle of tamari on top for the perfect meal!
