Ingredients

Ramen noodles, dry 6 oz
Neutral cooking oil, divided 2 Tbsp
Broccoli florets 3-4 cups
Unsalted butter 3 Tbsp
Scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced 1 bunch
Garlic, minced 4 cloves
Ginger, grated 2 Tsp
Chili flakes, to taste, depending on desired spice level
Soy sauce, lower-sodium ¼ cup
Toasted sesame seeds or sesame oil 2 Tbsp

Instructions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and prepare noodles according to package instructions. Drain water, and set noodles aside.
Meanwhile, heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Once hot, add broccoli and sauté until crisp-tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a bowl, and reduce heat to medium.
Add butter and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, along with two-thirds of the chopped scallions (reserve remaining for garnish), garlic, ginger, and chili flakes. Cook until softened and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce.
Add cooked noodles to skillet, along with sautéed broccoli, edamame, and toasted sesame seeds. Use a set of tongs to toss noodles to coat in sauce.
Divide noodles into bowls, and optionally garnish with a fried or soft-boiled egg (or toppings of choice), along with remaining chopped scallions. Drizzle chili oil or sprinkle chili flakes overtop for an extra kick of spice, if desired.
