Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook 8 oz ramen noodles according to package instructions until just tender, about 3 minutes for fresh or 4-5 minutes for dried. Drain and set aside.

How do I store leftover Hibachi-Style Stir-Fried Ramen with Sesame and Scallions?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep sesame oil from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Hibachi-Style Stir-Fried Ramen with Sesame and Scallions?

How do I scale Hibachi-Style Stir-Fried Ramen with Sesame and Scallions for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
