Method

  1. Boil ramen brick, drain and rinse it in cold water to ensure the noodles don't stick to one another while you're preparing the sauce.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Noodles separate after rinsing and draining. Drain thoroughly before adding sauce.

  2. Add spring onions and gochugaru to a bowl.

  3. Heat sesame oil until hot (make sure it doesn't burn!). You can heat the oil on medium flame for about 2-3 minutes. Add it to mixture and let it sizzle.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Hot sesame oil sizzles over the spring onion and chili. Pour carefully so the aromatics are evenly heated.

  4. Add peanut butter, soy sauce, add a splash of hot noodle water and give it a good mix.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Peanut sauce is smooth and loosens with noodle water. Mix until no thick peanut butter pockets remain.

  5. Add the sauce to the noodles, stir it and heat up if necessary.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Sauce coats the noodles evenly after tossing. Warm briefly if needed to help the coating cling.

  6. Add toasted sesame seeds to garnish and voila!
