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.
