Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, add ramen noodles and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, about 4 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water; drain the noodles and rinse under cold water.

Meanwhile, stir broth, soy sauce, canola oil, brown sugar, vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper together in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broth mixture; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the noodles and the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the noodles are coated in sauce, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Top with scallions and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper Additional reporting by Carrie Myers and Jan Valdez
