INGREDIENTS
 

  • 1 pack instant ramen noodles
  • 2 shallots (or green onion whites)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp cooking oil
SAUCE
  • 1 tsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tsp water
  • 1/2 tsp chicken stock/bouillon powder (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS
 

PREP

  • Thinly slice 2 shallots/green onions. Shallots are preferred as they are sweeter but green onions work too
  • Mince 2 cloves of garlic. Add more if you like a stronger garlic flavour
  • Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside

COOKING

  • Cook 1 pack of instant ramen noodles 1 minute less than the package instructions. Drain and set aside
  • On low flame, fry shallots/green onion in 3 tbsp oil until golden and crisp. Take it off the pan when it turns pale gold or it will burn and taste bitter
  • Retain 1 tbsp oil from the pan used to fry the shallots/green onions. The remaining oil is flavourful and can be used in other dishes
  • On low flame, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds or until lightly golden
  • Pour in the prepared sauce and simmer for 30 seconds
  • Add the cooked ramen noodles and mix quickly. Stir fry for just 30 seconds or the noodles will get mushy
  • Add ramen noodles to a serving bowl, garnish with crispy fried onion and green onions. Enjoy!

NOTES

TIPS
  • Slightly undercook the noodles to prevent it from turning mushy
  • Fry scallions/green onions in a large batch as they are extremely tasty and can be used to garnish many dishes
  • The onion flavored oil is delicious so please don’t throw it away
 
SUBSTITUTES
  • Sweet chilli sauce: 1/2 tsp chilli sauce or sriracha + 1/2 tsp sugar
    1/4 tsp chilli powder+1 tsp water + 1/2 tsp sugar
  • Shallots: 1 small onion
  • Dark soy sauce: Replace with regular soy sauce. However, the colour of the noodles will be pale
