# Method:
01 - Set the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, hoisin sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes in a large bowl.
03 - Add sliced chicken or cubed tofu to the marinade and toss to coat. Allow to rest while preparing vegetables.
04 - Break the instant ramen noodles into rough chunks and spread evenly across the lined sheet pan.
05 - Distribute marinated chicken or tofu and all prepared vegetables evenly over the noodles. Drizzle any remaining marinade on top.
06 - Pour ½ cup (120 ml) water evenly over the pan to aid in softening and crisping of the noodles.
07 - Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through. Ensure chicken is cooked through or tofu is golden, vegetables are tender, and noodles have crisp edges.
08 - Remove from oven and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh herbs as desired. Serve immediately.
