Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 servings ramen noodles, cooked
- 1 tomato (or other vegetables of your choice)
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced ham or chicken
- 1 egg
For the sauce:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated or minced
- 2 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a mediums-sized serving bowl, add your ramen noodles.
- To a small bowl, combine your sauce ingredients.
- Begin by slicing your tomatoes into thin wedges and set aside.
- Julienne your cucumber and set aside.
- To a small bowl, whisk your egg for one minute. Then, to a greased, medium-sized pan over medium-high heat, add in your egg mixture and tilt the pan to allow the egg to coat the entire base.
- Allow to cook for ~2-3 minutes, or until egg is cooked all the way through. Remove from heat and julienne. Set aside.
- Top each serving bowl of ramen noodles with 1/4 cup of ham or chicken, the julienned egg, the tomato, and the cucumber. For a more traditional look, neatly place the toppings on top of the noodles in a colorful, fan-like pattern. You can also add sliced green onions or a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds for garnish.
- Finish by drizzling the sesame dressing on top.
