It’s the perfect starting point for our sesame ramen, ensuring that even a quick meal doesn’t sacrifice on taste.
The heart of this recipe is the sesame sauce. Made with a mix of tahini or sesame paste, sugar, chili crisp, soy sauce, Chinese vinegar, and chili oil, it’s a flavor explosion in every bite. The tahini adds a creamy, nutty base, while the sugar and soy sauce balance each other out with sweetness and umami. The chili crisp and chili oil bring the heat, and the Chinese vinegar adds a zesty tang. A touch of the Mike's Mighty Good soup base ties it all together with a savory depth.
Making this dish is incredibly straightforward. Start by cooking Mike's Mighty Good ramen noodles according to the package instructions but set aside the soup packet and seasoning oil – we’re making our own sauce here. While the noodles cook, mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Once the noodles are done, you can either rinse them in cold water if you’re in the mood for a chilled dish or mix them directly with the sauce for a warm meal. It’s as easy as that.
Hot or Cold: Your Choice
One of the best things about this Easy Sesame Ramen is its flexibility. For a refreshing summer dish, rinse the noodles in cold water before adding the sauce. The cool noodles with the spicy, tangy sauce make a perfect pair. If you’re craving something warm and comforting, simply toss the hot noodles with the sauce and enjoy a cozy bowl of goodness.
Toppings to Elevate Your Ramen
Toppings make all the difference in ramen, and this recipe is no exception. Shredded cucumber adds a cool crunch, while chopped green onions bring a fresh bite. Toasted sesame seeds add a nutty flavor and a bit of texture. These toppings don’t just enhance the flavor; they make your bowl of ramen look as good as it tastes.
Make It Your Own
This Easy Sesame Ramen is just a starting point. Feel free to get creative with your toppings – think shredded chicken, a soft-boiled egg, or sautéed mushrooms. The beauty of ramen is in its versatility, so don’t hesitate to make it your own.
