This is the best easy ramen noodle recipe!

These sesame garlic ramen noodles are made in just 10 minutes and so quick and easy that you can eat them for a last minute lunch or as a side dish with your takeout inspired dinner.

They have quickly become one of our favorite ramen noodle recipes! Stir fry recipes are a big hit in our house and we make them regularly.

We love using ramen noodles in asian inspired dishes like cabbage stir fry, ramen noodle stir fry, and these mushroom ramen noodles.

I love the versatility of these noodles once you chuck that spice packet! There are so many ways to make boring ramen noodles taste restaurant quality in your own kitchen.

How to serve

We love a simple garnish of fresh chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Chopped peanuts or siracha would be other yummy additions you could try!

I discovered when I created my homemade stir fry sauce that sesame oil and soy sauce are the essential ingredients that you need when making takeout style dishes at home.

Fresh minced garlic takes this dish to the next level!
