Instructions

Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl until well combined; set aside.
Boil water in a pot, then add ramen noodles and cook until al dente (about 2–3 minutes less than package instructions).
Drain noodles and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
In a pan over medium-high heat, sauté sliced veggies or tofu until cooked through.
Pour the prepared sauce over the sautéed ingredients; simmer for about 2–3 minutes until thickened.
Add drained noodles to the pan; mix well to coat noodles evenly in the sauce.
Cook for an additional 3 minutes over medium-high heat until noodles absorb some sauce.
Adjust seasoning if needed before serving, garnished with scallions and sesame seeds.
