Ingredients

  • 1 piece ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 bunch scallions
  • ½ cup grapeseed oil
  • 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 packages ramen noodles
  • 2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds and chili oil

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Toss ginger, garlic, and two-thirds of the scallions in a large bowl to combine. Heat grapeseed oil in a small saucepan over high until hot and shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Immediately pour hot oil over aromatics. The scallions will sizzle, turn bright green, and wilt almost immediately. Let sit 5 minutes.
