Creamy Hoisin Garlic Ramen

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 pack ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp minced garlic
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 tbsp gochujang (can sub sriracha)
• 1/4 cups fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cups shredded parmesan cheese
• 1 pinch toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions, discarding the seasoning packets, then drain and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Whisk in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and gochujang until smooth.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
6. Toss the cooked noodles into the sauce until well coated.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
8. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it up. For a protein boost, top with a soft-boiled egg or pan-seared tofu.
