A quick and easy homemade ramen featuring a flavorful spicy garlic chili oil that delivers comforting heat and bold flavor in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or neutral oil like canola)
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons red chili flakes (adjust based on heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
  • 2 servings fresh or dried ramen noodles
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon miso paste (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 soft boiled eggs, halved (optional)
  • A handful of fresh spinach or bok choy

Instructions

  1. Make the Chili Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Cook until garlic turns golden brown and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat quickly.
  2. Add Chili Flakes and Seasoning: Stir in red chili flakes, toasted sesame oil, and soy sauce while the oil is still warm. Mix well and let flavors meld for a few minutes. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Broth: In a medium pot, bring chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle boil. Stir in soy sauce and miso paste if using. Reduce to a simmer and keep warm.
  4. Cook Noodles: In a separate large pot, cook ramen noodles according to package instructions (3-4 minutes for fresh, 5-6 minutes for dried). Drain and rinse briefly under warm water.
  5. Prepare Toppings: Soft boil eggs for about 6-7 minutes if desired. Blanch spinach or bok choy in boiling water for 30 seconds, then drain.
  6. Assemble Bowls: Divide noodles into two bowls. Ladle hot broth over noodles. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of spicy garlic chili oil on top, adjusting to taste. Arrange soft boiled eggs and greens on the side. Garnish with sliced green onions.

Notes

Use low and slow heat to brown garlic to avoid bitterness. Adjust chili flakes to control spice level. For gluten-free, use tamari and rice or shirataki noodles. Chili oil can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to two weeks. Reheat gently before use.
