How to Prepare Spicy Ginger Rice Ramen [Vegan]

Prepare all ingredients, having them ready to go in small separate bowls.
Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Then drain with sieve, rinse and cover. Set aside.
On stove-top in a large non-stick wok or pan, heat the oil on medium-high.
Reduce heat and add the green onions or scallions (set aside some green stems for garnish later on). Sauté the onions for 30 seconds and then add the garlic and ginger. Mix and adjust heat if needed.
Add a tiny splash of water and mix again so that the ginger and garlic blend in and do not stick to the bottom.
Add the red chilli flakes, soy or tamari sauce, maple syrup, mirin or vinegar. Mix and cook for a minute or so.
Add the cooked noodles. (If they are sticky, quickly rinse and loosen them up under running tap water using a sieve). Mix the noodles and toss until combined and noodles absorb most of the liquid.
Sprinkle some sesame seeds throughout. Keep tossing (raise heat if need be) and mixing until most of the liquid evaporates.
Serve immediately in bowls or deep dishes. Garnish with extra sesame seeds, chopped green onion /scallion stems and/or extra red pepper flakes. Enjoy as is or with a crisp green salad and/or legumes of choice. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and re-heat in micro-wave prior to serving.
Enjoy!
