Extremely Spicy Ramen

Ingredients

• 1 package Instant ramen noodles (Approximately 85 g package; use a spicy variety if desired.)
• 2.5 cup Water (For boiling the noodles; drain or reduce according to the noodle package directions.)
• 1 packet Spicy ramen seasoning (Usually included with the ramen package.)
• 1 tbsp Chili oil (Estimated addition; reduce substantially for a milder bowl.)
• 1 Fresh red chili pepper (Thinly sliced; estimated garnish or heat booster.)
• 1 clove Garlic (Minced; estimated flavoring.)
• 1 Green onion (Thinly sliced, for serving.)
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (Optional garnish; estimated addition.)

Steps

1. 1

   Bring about 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) of water to a rolling boil in a saucepan. Use caution when handling the boiling water and hot noodles.

2. 2

   Add the instant ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions, usually about 3 to 4 minutes, until tender but not mushy.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic, spicy seasoning packet, and chili oil. Stir thoroughly so the seasoning dissolves and coats the noodles evenly. For a less soupy ramen, drain some of the cooking water before adding the seasoning.

4. 4

   Continue heating for about 1 minute, stirring, until the broth is uniformly colored and fragrant and the noodles are fully tender.

5. 5

   Transfer the ramen to a serving bowl. Add the sliced fresh chili, green onion, and sesame seeds, then serve immediately while very hot.

Notes

The accessible post contains only a caption and no written ingredient list, measurements, transcript, or visible recipe text. Ingredients, quantities, and method are therefore reconstructed estimates rather than an extraction of the creator’s exact recipe. Start with less chili oil or fresh chili and increase gradually; very spicy food can cause discomfort.
