Instructions

1. Mix all the sauce ingredients until well incorporated. Adjust the measurements to your taste preference. Set aside.

2. Boil water in a small pot over high heat. Once boiling, add in the ramen or noodles of choice.

3. Half cook the noodles until still very chewy, about 2–3 minutes less than package instructions. Drain and set aside.

4. Run noodles under cold water to stop cooking and remove excess starch (optional).

5. While noodles cook, heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little oil.

6. Sauté the tofu, mushrooms, or vegetables for a few minutes until cooked to your liking.

7. Give the sauce a good mix to ensure the starch is fully incorporated. Pour into the pan and simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

8. Add the noodles to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.

9. Cook for another 3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce and thicken.

10. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with soy sauce, sweetener, or pepper.

11. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

If using a lot of vegetables or noodles, double the sauce to keep it nice and saucy.

Start with less soy sauce if using a salty vegetable broth.

To thicken later, mix cornstarch with water before adding to the pan.

Add your choice of protein like tofu or tempeh for extra heartiness.

Chili garlic sauce or hot sauce can add a nice kick if desired.
