Ingredients

⅓ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles, without flavor packets
1 tablespoon sesame oil
¾ cup thinly sliced scallions
¼ cup shredded carrots

Steps:

Whisk soy sauce, chicken broth, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, honey, and garlic together in a small bowl; set aside.
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking water.
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add scallions and carrots to the hot skillet and quickly stir-fry until soft, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low, pour in sauce, and cook until sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Stir in drained ramen noodles, separating and tossing them with tongs until coated. Add reserved cooking water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
