1 Tablespoon fresh ginger or ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced or ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Was worry about Ramen noodle but gave it a try, It was tasty and Froze well. Right now i working my way though the site but this one can be a staple for me. (and I dislike Ramen noodles)
This recipe is perfect for busy nights! I added some red pepper flakes with the water and seasoning packet for some extra spice and sprinkled sesame seeds on top before serving it.
This was super easy to make, I didnt put the ginger in because I am not a fan of ginger. It was great! I served it with some egg rolls for a complete meal.
This is a great and easy recipe to make. My kids loved it.
