Ingredients

For the Sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust for spice preference)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for acidity)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ginger powder

Optional: 1 teaspoon chili flakes (for extra heat)

For the Noodles and Veggies

1 pack of ramen noodles (or any noodles of choice)

1 tablespoon oil (for sautéing)

1 cup of vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, or carrots)

1/2 cup mushrooms (optional)

1/2 cup tofu, cubed (optional)

Garnishes

Sesame seeds

Chopped spring onions (green onions)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients. Adjust the sweetness, saltiness, sourness, and spice level according to your taste. Set aside.

  • Cook the Noodles: Boil water in a pot and cook noodles for 2-3 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Optionally, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

  • Sauté the Veggies or Protein: Heat oil in a pan and sauté your choice of vegetables (or tofu) until cooked to your liking.

  • Simmer the Sauce: Pour the sauce into the pan with the cooked veggies (or tofu) and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

  • Combine the Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the pan, toss to coat, and cook for an additional 3 minutes to absorb the sauce.

  • Taste and Adjust: Taste the noodles and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce, sweetener, or spice as needed.

  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped spring onions. Serve hot.

Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.

Reheating: Reheat in a pan over medium heat, adding a little water or soy sauce to loosen the noodles. You can also microwave in short intervals.

Variations: Add extra veggies or protein like chicken, shrimp, or beef. For more heat, increase hot sauce or chili flakes.
