- To make the ramen noodles more flavorful, cook them in a flavorful broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even miso broth.
- If you don't have any rice vinegar, you can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as rice vinegar is more concentrated.

- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
