I love experimenting with my husband’s lunches.
I don’t mean I’m concocting some kind of weird things to put in his lunches like worms and dirt. I like to mix it up between the things he really likes, while occasionally slipping in something new for him to try.
He likes a specific flavors and textures, so I try to work around that. He’s an avid fan of spicy foods, so that’s what inspired this dish.
I used some leftover ramen I had in a Costco box I impulse bought a few weeks ago so I ditched the flavored sauce that went with it and used it with a homemade chili sauce.
This dish turned out so good I wanted to keep it all for myself. I portioned it out for him to take to work but I did sneak a few bites here and there.
You can use whatever noodles you like, but I recommend sticking with yakisoba or ramen. They both soak up flavors so well.
Enjoy!

I like ramen, too. Thank goodness we have the option of losing the flavor packet for healthier options. 🌿🌱🍃
