What Kind of Ramen Should I Use?

For this recipe, classic instant ramen works perfectly — just skip the seasoning packet. You can also opt for slightly thicker yakisoba noodles or Korean ramyun if you want more chew. What matters most is that the noodles cook quickly and absorb the flavorful sauce well.

How To Make the Sweet & Spicy Ramen Noodle Stir Fry

Step 1: Cook the Noodles

Boil your ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, but reserve a splash of the cooking water.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In a hot non-stick pan, scramble the eggs with a touch of oil until just set. Remove and keep them warm.

Step 3: Sauté the Garlic

Add a little oil to the pan and cook the garlic over medium heat until fragrant — about 30 seconds.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

Add soy sauce, brown sugar, chili flakes (or sriracha), and a splash of water or noodle water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce simmers slightly.

Step 5: Toss and Finish

Add the noodles and eggs back into the pan. Toss everything to coat evenly in the sauce. Drizzle with sesame oil and top with sesame seeds.

Serving and Storing This Ramen Stir Fry

Serve the stir fry hot, straight from the pan. It’s best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Reheat in a pan with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
