Sure you can settle for those little flavor packets that come with store-bought ramen packets. Or – why not go all out and make your own broth featuring the uber-popular Sriracha chili sauce? Our spicy ramen noodles recipe is ramen the way it should be. Fresh ingredients and a bold bite that’ll have you looking forward to sipping the broth out of the bottom of the bowl. It’s chock-full of comfort, perfect any time of year.
Add in crushed red pepper for a little extra pop, but the Sriracha provides plenty of its own. Don’t be heavy-handed here as it can overtake the flavor. And don’t forget that there’s also fresh ginger in the recipe that brings some extra warmth to the meal. Best of all, it’s simple to make: just a little chopping and blending to go along with the warming. All in, your spicy ramen noodles are done in 30 minutes or less. Yum.

tastes so good but i also say you should add more salt and pepper
This is a great receipe with one big change. Go to your fridge and toss that bottle of boring, but trendy Sriracha in the trash. You can also leave the pepper flakes out as they aren’t going to be needed. Now, chop up 12 or 15 Thai chilis and in a small condiment bowl add 50% fish sauce and 50% lime juice to the chilis. Add them to the bowl of ramen as you eat if. I personlly use just 100% fish sauce, but it is too strong for most people that way.
