My family told me I don’t need to go out for abura soba anymore, so I decided to write down the recipe.
How this recipe came about:
For my ramen-loving family, I researched various soupless ramen recipes and created a basic version using commonly used ingredients. I tried to plate it in a style similar to 'Soramame' in Chofu.

Steps

1

Combine all the sauce ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat briefly in the microwave, then stir well.
2

Wash and cut your desired toppings and set them aside.
3

Boil the Chinese-style noodles, drain well in a colander (no need to rinse). Place the noodles in a bowl, add about 2 tablespoons of sauce, and arrange the toppings. Enjoy!
4

Mix the noodles and toppings as you eat. If the flavor is too mild, add more sauce. I like to add a splash of vinegar while eating.
