Ginger Scallion Oil Dry Ramen

Ingredients

• 2 portions Ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
• 0.25 cup Fresh ginger, finely minced
• 1 cup Scallions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Neutral oil (like grapeseed or vegetable)
• 2 tablespoons Light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dark soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the minced ginger, sliced scallions, and salt in a heat-proof bowl and stir to combine.

2. 2

   Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer and smoke slightly.

3. 3

   Carefully pour the hot oil over the ginger and scallion mixture; it should sizzle vigorously and release a strong aroma.

4. 4

   Stir in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and toasted sesame oil into the ginger-scallion mixture to create the sauce base.

5. 5

   Boil a large pot of water and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions until al dente.

6. 6

   Drain the noodles thoroughly, ensuring no excess water remains to dilute the sauce.

7. 7

   Transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl and pour the aromatic ginger-scallion oil over them.

8. 8

   Toss the noodles vigorously until every strand is coated, then garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
