Ginger-Spring onion Ramen Noodles

This vibrant ginger and spring onion ramen provides a fresh, fragrant alternative to traditional broth-based noodle dishes. By pouring shimmering hot oil over aromatics like garlic and ginger, you create a deeply flavoured, instant dressing that clings perfectly to every strand of wavy ramen. It is a satisfying vegan meal that celebrate simple ingredients, offering a punchy, savoury kick with every bite.

Ideal for a quick midweek supper, this dish can be on the table in less than half an hour. Using fresh ramen noodles ensures a superior texture, though dried varieties work just as well in a pinch. Serve these noodles warm, topped with toasted sesame seeds and a generous drizzle of chilli oil for those who enjoy a touch of heat.

Ingredients for Ginger-Spring onion Ramen Noodles

  • 1 (5") piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped (about 50g )

  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 1 large bunch spring onions, very thinly sliced, divided

  • 120ml grapeseed or other neutral oil

  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoons sugar

  • Kosher salt

  • 4 (140g) packages wavy ramen noodles, preferably fresh

  • Toasted sesame seeds and chilli oil (for serving)

Toss ginger, garlic, and two-thirds of the spring onions 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 spring onions will sizzle, turn bright green, and wilt almost immediately. Let sit 5 minutes.

Mix soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, pepper, sugar, and remaining spring onions into oil mixture; season with salt. Let sit 15 minutes for flavours 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 chilli oil alongside.
