Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 8 oz ramen noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender but firm, then drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 tbsp unsalted butter to the wok, stirring until melted and foamy. Toss in 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, 1 medium julienned carrot, and 1/2 sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until vegetables soften but retain some crunch.
  4. Step 4: Add the drained ramen noodles to the wok, then pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss everything vigorously for 2-3 minutes until noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds over the noodles and give one last toss. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
