Ingredients and substitutions
- Ramen noodles – use any variety of ramen noodles of your choice.
- Eggs – you can leave these off if you’re not a fan of eggs. Feel free to add in another protein option like chicken or tofu!
- Low sodium soy sauce – coconut aminos or tamari are the best soy sauce substitutes.
- Chili oil – if you don’t have any chili oil, add in some sambal oelek or extra sriracha.
- Honey – maple syrup or agave would also help sweeten the noodles.
- Sriracha – Sambal oelek would also work here.
- Minced garlic – freshly minced garlic is best, but jarred minced garlic can be used in a pinch.
- Green onions – substitute for chives or scallions instead.
- Sesame seeds – white or black sesame seeds would both be good.
- Cilantro – leave this off if you’re not a fan of cilantro.

How to make spicy noodles
Step 1: Assemble your ingredients.
Step 2: Cook the noodles.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add ramen noodles. Boil for 3-4 minutes until softened, then drain and set aside.
Step 3: Fry the eggs.
While ramen cooks, fry eggs in a large skillet over medium-low heat with a bit of butter or oil for 3-5 minutes until cooked to desired doneness. Remove eggs and set aside.
Step 4: Make the sauce.
Mix together soy sauce, chili oil, honey, sriracha and minced garlic.
Step 5: Toss everything together.
Add to the same skillet as the eggs were cooked in along with noodles, tossing gently to combine and cooking for another minute or so.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy!
Divide noodles into 4 bowls, topping with one egg each and garnishing with green onion, cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
