Vegetables and Garnish
- 1 cup bok choy, chopped

Instructions

Notes
- Use fresh ramen noodles for the best texture, but dried or instant noodles can be used.
- Adjust the chili paste quantity depending on your preferred spice level.
- For extra protein, add tofu or edamame on the side.
- This dish can be customized with other vegetables such as mushrooms or spinach.
- To make it nut-free, substitute tahini with sunflower seed butter and verify chili paste ingredients.
