Cook the ramen. Warm some cooking oil in a pan until smoking. Mince the garlic cloves and a small shallot, then cook in the smoking hot oil for a few seconds.
In a bowl, combine the minced shallot, garlic, hot oil, chili flakes, and sesame seeds. Let the mixture crisp up before adding a splash of soy sauce.
Add the ramen noodles to the bowl with some of the pasta water and mix everything together well. Top with green onions or other desired toppings. Enjoy!
