A quick and delicious ramen noodle dish with a flavorful sauce, perfect for customization with your favorite veggies or protein.

Ingredients

2 servings dry instant ramen noodle cakes or other noodles of your choice (around 140 g total)

10 oz extra firm tofu, veggies, or mushrooms of choice (sliced)

1 cup water or vegetable broth

5-7 tbsp soy sauce (adjust according to desired taste)

1.5 tsp dark soy sauce (optional, for color)

2-3 tbsp corn starch

1-3 tbsp sugar, maple syrup, or other liquid sweetener (adjust according to desired sweetness)

2 tbsp rice vinegar, white vinegar, or lemon juice (adjust according to desired sourness)

1/4 tsp ground pepper

1/2 tbsp chili garlic sauce or other hot sauce (optional, for spice)

1 tbsp sesame oil

2 cloves garlic (minced, optional)

Chopped scallions (for topping)

Sesame seeds (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients until well incorporated. Adjust the measurements of soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and hot sauce to your preference. Set aside.
  2. Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Add the ramen noodles (or other noodles of your choice) and cook until they are slightly underdone, about 2-3 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and sauté your chosen veggies, mushrooms, or tofu until cooked to your liking.
  4. Pour the sauce into the pan with the cooked veggies or tofu. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the pan and mix well with the sauce, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated. Continue cooking for about 3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce.
  6. Taste the noodles and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more soy sauce, sweetener, or pepper.
  7. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use tofu or vegetables and plant-based sweeteners like maple syrup.
  • If you prefer gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
  • For a spicy kick, increase the amount of chili garlic sauce or add red pepper flakes.
  • Feel free to swap the noodles for soba, udon, or rice noodles.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat, warm the noodles in a pan with a splash of water or vegetable broth.
