Cooking Instructions
How to make the best Ramen Noodles
- Boil water in a medium pot. Add lemon juice (or olive oil per your preference/availability. It will prevent noodles from sticking together or getting mushy).
- Now add ramen and cook uncovered for two minutes (or until soft). Drain excess water.
- Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, vegetable broth, and coconut milk in a separate pot, and heat the mixture over medium. They will start combining well and get creamy in about 3-4 minutes, keep stirring continuously to prevent sticking the cream to the bottom.
- Now add the drained ramen to the creamy broth.
- Add the vegetables (if using) and heat just until they are coated well with the cream.
- Portion into bowls.
- Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.
- Serve hot.
