Introduction
I asked my audience how much time they usually have to cook, and most people came back saying 15 minutes! So here we are: a recipe that I think is actually on the table closer to 10 minutes. Sautéing the spring onions brings out their sweetness while the fresh ginger keeps things fiery. This is such a simple dish for when you’re short on time but don’t want to compromise on taste. Add crispy tofu, such as my Killer Tofu Ground ‘Beef’ on page 128 of You Can Cook This! , or steamed spinach, broccoli or peas if you want to bulk it up.

Ingredients
| 25g | fresh ginger, cut into thin matchsticks |
|---|---|
| 4 | garlic cloves, finely grated |
| 6 | spring onions, very thinly sliced |
| 100ml | vegetable oil |
| 2 tbsp | soy sauce, tamari or teriyaki sauce |
| 1 tbsp | rice vinegar |
| 1 tsp | toasted sesame oil |
| ½ tsp | sugar |
| ½ tsp | black pepper |
| 200g | ramen noodles |
| 1–2 tsp | toasted white or black sesame seeds |
| garlic chilli oil, or crushed chillies in vinegar (shop-bought) | |
| lime wedges, to serve |
Method
Put the ginger, garlic and half of the spring onions in a large bowl.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium–high heat for 2 minutes. Pour the hot oil over the spring onion mixture and set aside for 1–2 minutes, until the spring onion is vibrantly green and soft. Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and black pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain well, then toss the noodles in a few spoonfuls of the spring onion sauce.
Serve with lime wedges and topped with toasted sesame seeds, the remaining spring onions and some quick garlic chilli oil or crushed chillies in vinegar.
