Ingredients
2 (5.6 ounce) packages of yakisoba noodles* (Udon noodles are ok to)
¼ cup soy sauce
1 Tablespoon white sugar
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup water or broth (I prefer chicken broth)

Instructions
Follow package instructions to heat and separate noodles. Combine the soy sauce, sugar, red pepper flakes, vinegar, and water in a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Turn off the heat and add the scallions. Serve hot.
