Ginger Scallion Ramen Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, chicken broth, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, honey, and garlic together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking water.
• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add scallions and carrots to the hot skillet and quickly stir-fry until soft, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low, pour in sauce, and cook until sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Stir in drained ramen noodles, separating and tossing them with tongs until coated. Add reserved cooking water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Steps:

• Toss ginger, garlic, and two-thirds of the scallions in a large bowl to combine. Heat grapeseed oil in a small saucepan over high until hot and shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Immediately pour hot oil over aromatics. The scallions will sizzle, turn bright green, and wilt almost immediately. Let sit 5 minutes.
• Mix soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, pepper, sugar, and remaining scallions into oil mixture; season with salt. Let sit 15 minutes for flavors to meld. Taste sauce and season with more salt if needed.
• Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions; drain.
• Toss noodles in a large bowl with as much or little sauce as you'd like. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with chili oil alongside.

Steps:

• Combine scallions, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar in a bowl. Stir until combined and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and boil for 3 minutes. Turn heat off and let sit for 1 minute.
• Drain noodles and transfer to a large bowl. Add reserved sauce mixture and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Prepare the chile oil: Add the red-pepper flakes and salt to a heatproof bowl. Place the oil, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan, and heat over medium until it bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and very carefully pour the hot oil over the red-pepper flakes. Add the sesame seeds and sesame oil, and stir well. Set aside while you make the rest of the dish. (Chile oil can be stored in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to a month and indefinitely in the refrigerator.)
• Prepare the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ramen and cook according to package instructions, about 3 minutes, until the noodles are just tender. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well again.
• Slice the white parts of your scallions lengthwise, in half or quarters, depending on thickness, to make cooking faster.
• Heat a wok or large (12-inch), deep skillet on high. When smoking hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil, toss in the green beans and season with salt. Cook, tossing the beans, for 2 to 3 minutes, until charred. Remove the beans from the wok, and set aside.
• Heat the same wok or skillet over high, and when smoking, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil, along with the scallions (white and green parts) and the ginger. Allow the scallions and ginger to sizzle for 20 to 30 seconds, to release their aromas, then stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until the scallions have a nice scorch.
• Add the green beans and noodles back to the pan, along with 2 or 3 tablespoons of the chile oil (reserve some for serving), and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to combine, just until the noodles are heated through. To serve, divide the noodles into bowls, top with toasted sesame seeds and more chile oil.
