15 Minute Sesame Ramen

• servings: 1 serving
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 package ramen noodles (flavor packet discarded)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

2 garlic cloves (minced)

½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon chili garlic paste

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

2 green onions (thinly sliced)

toasted sesame seeds for sprinkling

Directions

Cook the ramen noodles according to the directions on the package. This only takes 2 to 3 minutes! I like to get all of my other ingredients out while waiting for the water to boil.

While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the coconut oil and once melted, stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, then stir in the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and chili garlic paste. Turn off the heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil. Add the noodles to the skillet and toss well to coat.

Serve the noodles with lots of green onions and sesame seeds on top.
