How to make Ramen noodles with spring onions and garlic crisp

1. Place half of the spring onions in a large heatproof bowl and set a fine-mesh sieve on top. Set aside.

2. Combine the remaining spring onions with the ginger, garlic, and oil in a small saucepan. Set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden and the spring onions begin to crisp and turn golden brown, about 8–10 minutes.

3. Pour the mixture through the reserved sieve onto the spring onions in the bowl. Turn out the garlic crisp from the sieve onto paper towels to drain.

4. Stir the spring onions in the bowl until just softened, about 1 minute.

5. Stir in the chilli, herbs, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame seeds, pepper, salt, and sugar. Let the dressing sit for 10 minutes.

6. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under warm water to remove any excess starch.

7. Transfer the noodles to the bowl with the dressing and add the butter and half of the garlic crisp. Toss to coat the noodles evenly.

8. Divide the noodles among bowls and top with the remaining garlic crisp.
