Bring a medium-size pot of water to a boil over high heat. Lightly break the noodle cakes to your desired bite size. Once the water is boiling, add in the broken noodle cakes. Gently twirl them around. Cook just until done per package directions.
In the meantime, heat up oil in the pan. Add onion and sauté for couple minutes till translucent. Add ginger, garlic and sauté till aromatic. Add rest of the chopped vegetables and sauté well for few minutes. Keep the heat on high so veggies cook fast without being mushy. Add all the rest of the ingredients under sauce . Mix well and turn off the heat.
Once cooked, drain the excess water. You can make dry or soupy noodles based on the water you keep.
Pour the noodles back into the pan. Toss well so the noodles soak up all that wonderful sauce. Stir in the green onion slices and cilantro. Top with cut up egg. Drizzle with extra Sriracha, if desired. Enjoy your protein packed spicy ramen creation!!
INSTANT POT DIRECTIONS:
Put the Instant pot on High Sauté mode . Once it feels hot, add sesame oil. Add onion and sauté for couple minutes till translucent.

Put the insert back in InstantPot. Add ramen noodles and just enough water to cover them. Place the tall trivet and put eggs in the container on it. Close the lid. Choose the sealing position and choose manual 3 mins medium. After it beeps when done, do quick pressure release. Open the lid. Remove the eggs and trivet.
Add the sautéed veggie mixture into noodles. Stir well so the noodles soak up all that yummy sauce. Stir in the green onion slices and cilantro. Top with cut up egg. Drizzle with extra Sriracha, if desired. Enjoy your protein packed spicy ramen creation!!
Notes
If you like dry noodles, it won't work well to make them in Instant Pot. The advantage of making them in pressure cooker is one pot cooking. Also, the tall walls of inner pot help reduce spills and clean-up. I sauté the veggies first.
