Make the Sriracha Sauce:
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine grated ginger, garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sriracha, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, and sweet ginger chili sauce. Stir well to combine. Set the sauce aside. -
Cook the Broccoli:
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped broccoli and cover the skillet. Stir occasionally, sautéing for 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp. -
Cook the Ramen:
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and add the ramen noodles. Cover and let the noodles sit for 3-4 minutes, then gently stir. Drain the water from the noodles once they are cooked. -
Combine the Ingredients:
Stir the sriracha sauce into the skillet with the cooked broccoli and simmer for a minute. Add the cooked ramen noodles and toss everything together to coat the noodles with the sauce. -
Serve:
Plate the ramen and garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy the spicy, flavorful ramen!
Notes
- Customize Your Protein: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, tofu, or any protein of your choice to make this dish more filling.
- Make It Milder: For a less spicy version, reduce the amount of sriracha sauce or substitute with a mild chili paste.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to loosen up the noodles.
- Soy Sauce Substitute: Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
