Instructions

In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients until well combined. Adjust to your taste (sweeter, spicier, saltier, or tangier). Set aside.

Bring a pot of water to boil. Add ramen noodles and cook them halfway (about 2–3 minutes less than package instructions). Drain and rinse under cold water.

Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Sauté tofu, mushrooms, or veggies until cooked.

Stir the sauce again (make sure starch isn’t settled at the bottom) and pour it into the pan. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly until it thickens.

Add in the noodles. Stir well to coat. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the noodles absorb some of the sauce.

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Top with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Double the sauce if using more noodles or lots of veggies.

Adjust soy sauce if using salty vegetable broth.

To thicken the sauce more, dissolve extra cornstarch in water before adding.

Sauce color may vary based on soy sauce and chili used.
