Use toasted sesame seeds on top for their nutty flavor! You can buy them toasted or toast them in a pan yourself.
Don't skimp on the Sichuan chili flakes. Especially if you like it spicy! Feel free to add more or less depending on your spice tolerance.
Overcooked or undercooked noodles can ruin a bowl of chili oil ramen. Follow the package instructions and taste test your noodles to make sure they're cooked to your liking.
Chili oil ramen is best served hot, so serve it immediately after cooking.
