Instructions
In a small bowl whisk the sauce ingredients until combined. The sauce will separate a little due to the sesame oil but it is fine, whisk until most of it is combined. Set aside.
In a medium pot heat up about 4 cups of water and once simmering, add in the ramen. Remove from heat and let the noodles soften for about 3 minutes. Rinse and drain, leaving about 1 cup of noodle water for later.
Meanwhile, heat some cooking oil over medium-high heat in a wok pan or large nonstick skillet. Once the oil is very hot and sizzling, stir-fry the veggies for 3-4 minutes except for garlic and ginger. Add these after 3 minutes and flash fry for 30 seconds until these aromatics become fragrant.
Lower the heat and pour in the sauce. Stir until veggies are coated and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in noodles and mix to combine. If needed add more ramen cooking water.
Serve right away with freshly sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and more red chili flakes.
