Ingredients
  

  • 2 servings Ramen noodles, 220g
Toppings
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 1 Tomato
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Atsuage, or firm tofu, 100g
  • 1 tsp Furikake, optional
Sauce
  • 4 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Water

Instructions
 

  1. Prepare Toppings: Cut the cucumber into thin strips and cut the tomato into bite-sized pieces. Cut the atsuage into thin strips and then cook it in either the oven or a frying pan until it becomes crispy, which usually takes around 5 to 7 minutes. Heat a frying pan, add oil, and cook the beaten eggs into thin omelets. Once cooled, cut the omelets into thin strips.
  2. Make the sauce: Add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and water in a small bottle and shake the bottle to combine. Taste and adjust the flavors as needed to suit your preferences.
  3. Cook the noodles: Boil the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse them under cold running water to let them cool.
  4. Assemble: Place the drained noodles on a serving plate, arrange the toppings on top of the noodles, and pour the sauce over.

Notes

  • As you prepare the sauce, taste it, and feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your preferences.
  • Stir the noodles gently while cooking to prevent them from clumping together.
  • Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water. This step halts the cooking process and cools down the noodles, ensuring they stay firm and springy.
  • When serving, arranging the toppings symmetrically will make the dish look appealing.
