One of my favorite noodle dishes is ramen, but sometimes it’s just not cold enough to enjoy it without wanting to sit naked in a restaurant. Hawkward. My favorite alternative is naturally its cold counterpart, which is perfect during particularly hot days as it’s simultaneously refreshing, savory, & satiating. There are various ingredients you can add to enhance the ramen such as masago, tempura crumbles, seaweed, &/or chili pepper flakes. This recipe is vegetarian friendly!

- The package of ramen I normally buy has an apple honey vinaigrette sauce packet. If your ramen package doesn’t have a sauce packet, you can mix 5 tbsp of ponzu sauce, 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp of water, 1 tsp of sesame oil, dash of salt, & a little honey to taste.
