Cook the Noodles

Cook the instant noodles according to the package directions. Drain the noodles well, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water.

Prepare the Sauce

Combine and Toss

Add the drained noodles to the bowl with the sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved noodle water until it reaches your desired consistency.
