Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- Three 3.5-ounce packages ramen, seasoning packets reserved for another use
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup minced peeled fresh ginger
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon crab paste (see Note)
- 1 teaspoon Thai chile paste or sambal oelek
- 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps thinly sliced (4 cups)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
- 1/4 cup chopped mint, plus small leaves for garnish
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest plus 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- In a large saucepan of boiling water, cook the ramen until al dente. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a large wok, heat 1/2 cup of the oil until smoking. Add the ginger, garlic, crab paste, chile paste and shiitakes and cook over high heat, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Add the ramen and toss to coat. Spread the noodles in an even layer over the bottom and halfway up the side of the wok and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Cook over high heat, undisturbed, until the edges start to crisp, about 2 minutes. Toss the noodles, then spread them out again and cook until the edges start to crisp, about 2 minutes. Toss and repeat one more time. Stir in the broth, crabmeat, chopped mint, lime zest and lime juice, season with salt and toss well. Transfer to plates. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.
