Ingredients

1 tbsp oil
170 grams mushrooms, sliced
75 grams onions, sliced
1/2 tbsp garlic, chopped
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp sriracha sauce (or any other hot sauce)
1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 packs Maggi or ramen noodles (uncooked, discard the spice pack)
3 cups water
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1/4 cup spring onions
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: In a pan, heat the oil, then add garlic and onions. Sauté for a few minutes over medium heat until the onions are lightly cooked and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 2: Add the sesame oil and mushrooms to the pan. Cook until the mushrooms turn a light golden brown.
Step 3: Stir in the sriracha, rice vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes over medium heat until the mushrooms become caramelized.
Step 4: Add the uncooked Maggi or ramen noodles along with the water. Increase the heat to high and cook until the noodles are fully cooked and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Step 5: Mix in the spring onions and cook for an additional minute to combine the flavors.
Step 6: Transfer the noodles to serving bowls, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For extra protein, add tofu cubes or a soft-boiled egg before serving.
Use shiitake or cremini mushrooms for a deeper umami flavor.
Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level according to your taste.
Fresh ginger can be added with garlic for additional warmth and aroma.

Storage

Store leftover mushroom ramen in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water to loosen the noodles, or in the microwave until warm. Avoid overcooking during reheating to retain the texture of the mushrooms and noodles.
