ingredients

  • 1/4 cup liquid aminos
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped shallot
  • 1 inch chopped ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon plus more for drizzling sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon or less depending on heat preference sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 squares rice ramen (I used Lotus Foods)
  • a splash of lemon juice, to finish
  • for topping chopped peanuts
  • for topping green onion
  • for topping sesame seeds

Method

  • Step 1

    Combine all ingredients (minus noodles, honey, and toppings) in a bowl, whisk together well.

  • Step 2

    Drop noodles into boiling water, breaking up with a spoon after about a minute- to loosen them from each other. Cook according to package instructions, about 3-4 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Meanwhile, heat sauce in a non-stick pan. Cook on low-medium until thickened. (about the same amount of time that the noodles will cook.)

  • Step 4

    Transfer noodles to pan with sauce, a little of the pasta water clinging is okay. Add honey, and toss to coat.

  • Step 5

    Cook until sauce has begun to cling to the noodles. Add pasta water as needed. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.

  • Step 6

    Top with chopped toasted peanuts, fresh green onion, a final drizzle of sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds.
