A couple weeks ago when I made easy three-ingredient chicken nuggets, you guys were ALL over it and immediately wanted to make it.

This quick spicy sesame ramen is JUST as easy and quick so I have a feeling you’ll be all over this too.

I made this with Spectrum® Organic Cold Infused Garlic and Chili Sesame Oil this time around because FLAVOR!

I love that it is already pre-infused for you so all you have to do is get in the kitchen and start cooking.

They truly are like a partner in the kitchen because they take out all the hard work for you and you can just focus on being creative in the kitchen.

As I mentioned in my easy rosemary olive oil skillet flatbread recipe, there is a contest happening right now where you can win a trip to Barcelona, Spain! More details are at the bottom of this post.

Why did you choose Spectrum® Organic Cold Infused Garlic and Chili Sesame Oil this time?

Well, like I mentioned above, I loved the flavor combination. Garlic and chili is the perfect combination and sesame oil is something that isn’t thought about often to use in recipes so I wanted to showcase it.

The garlic and chili sesame oil is cold infused with organic garlic and organic chili pepper so tossing the ramen noodles in this oil coats all the strands and gives you big flavor!

If you’re anything like me, you appreciate wholesome ingredients and superior quality, so choosing to use a Spectrum® culinary oil was a no-brainer for me.

What ingredients will I need for this quick spicy sesame ramen?

The easiest and shortest ingredient list as follows:

  • New Spectrum® Organic Garlic & Chili Sesame Oil
  • Ramen noodles

Fresh or packaged ramen noodles?

Both work!

If you are lucky enough to get fresh ramen noodles around you, I would recommend using that because nothing beats fresh. You can taste the difference.

The texture is different.

However, if you can’t find fresh, that’s okay too. You can get the classic packaged one (you know, the ones you ate in college) but just toss the seasoning packet because you won’t need it!

The garlic and chili sesame oil will do the job of dialing up the flavor and heat for you!

What if you’re allergic to sesame oil?

No worries! The beauty of the Spectrum® brand line of natural and organic culinary oils and vinegars is that they have more than 30 varieties of seed, nut and plant oils that are good for any type of cooking, including coconut oil, olive oil, canola oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, sesame oil and more.

You could easily substitute their New Spectrum® Organic Cayenne Pepper Olive Oil for the sesame oil! Just as spicy and delicious!

  1. How wonderful to discover your blog..
    We are in the “empty-nester” category and simple recipes for two are precious to us..
    My wife loves ramen noodles and I am trying to get her away from the, included packets.. I’ll start with this recipe, thank you..
    A bit of “old man” confusion tho..
    The ingredients went from 2 in the first ingredient list to adding sambal oelek in the actual recipe.. I like the addition and will go to my local Asian market to purchase some.. I’m pleased that I didn’t just go with the 2 ingredient list, as sambal oelek seems to be an ingredient we will enjoy..

  2. SO the older I get I’m realizing how much I love the simplicity in a minimal amount of ingredients when it comes to making pasta! I used to want to drown everything in sauce! This looks good!
