Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar to the sauce. To store leftovers, cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Adding tofu or chicken can enhance the dish's protein content. For a healthier option, consider substituting zucchini noodles for ramen, or using whole wheat noodles for added fiber.
