Combine the Sauce
To begin, take a bowl or jar and combine light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sriracha, brown sugar, white pepper, and water. Stir with a fork or whisk until the sauce is combined and smooth!
Sauté the aromatics
Once the sauce is combined, the next step is to sauté the aromatics. Over medium high heat, add 2 tsp of neutral oil and sauté garlic, scallion, and gochugaru until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Boli the Noodles
Next, boil your noodles according to package directions. Drain them, making sure to reserve about 1/2 cup of noodle cooking water, then immediately add the noodles into the aromatics.
Add the Spicy Garlic Sauce and Mix Well
Finally, add the sauce and mix well until the ramen noodles are thoroughly combined with the sauce. If the noodles are too dry, add a bit of the reserved cooking water to loosen them up and get the sauce to a thinner consistency. Enjoy!

Made this the other night and unfortunately over cooked our ramen (that’s my bad) but the sauce was amazing! We are going to remake this and use the sauce in a broth to make a soupy ramen, which I’m sure will be just as incredible as the original recipe! Instagram is @samannewilliams
