Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the 2 servings of fresh ramen noodles according to package directions, about 2-3 minutes, until tender but still chewy. Drain well.
Step 2
While the noodles cook, thinly slice the 3 green onions, separating the white and green parts. Cut the 1 nori sheet into thin strips with scissors.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, and 2 tsp sesame oil. Stir until combined.
Step 4
Divide the sauce between two bowls. Add the hot drained noodles and toss well to coat every strand.
Step 5
Top each bowl with the sliced green onions, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 1 tsp chili flakes, and the nori strips. Serve immediately, mixing everything together before eating.
