cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Tofu provides a plant-based option while canned chicken is budget-friendly.

chilled ramen noodles

🥗Healthier: whole wheat noodles

💰Cheaper: spaghetti

Whole wheat noodles offer more fiber, while spaghetti is often less expensive.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey is leaner, and bologna is a more economical alternative.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium options reduce salt intake, while tamari is often similarly priced.

1

Prepare the sauce by mixing sugar, umami seasoning, chicken broth, and pork bone broth in a bowl. If the broth is hot, let it cool to room temperature.

2

Add grain vinegar and soy sauce to the mixture, adjust the taste, and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight to meld the flavors.

3

In a bowl, beat the egg and add the potato starch dissolved in water.

4

Heat lard in a frying pan and cook a thin omelet.

5

Boil the Chinese noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water to remove stickiness.

6

Press the noodles in a strainer to remove excess water.

7

Cut the omelet, cucumber, narutomaki, and chashu into thin strips.

8

Serve the noodles on a plate, layering with cucumber, omelet, narutomaki, chashu, and jellyfish, then pour the sauce over and add wasabi to taste.
