# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes in a large bowl.
03 - Add sliced chicken or cubed tofu to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Set aside while preparing vegetables.
04 - Break ramen noodles into chunks and spread evenly over the lined sheet pan. Arrange marinated protein and all vegetables across the noodles. Drizzle remaining marinade on top.
05 - Pour ½ cup water evenly over the pan to aid in softening noodles and create crisp edges.
06 - Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until chicken is fully cooked or tofu is golden, vegetables are tender, and noodles are crisp at edges.
07 - Remove from oven, garnish generously with sesame seeds and fresh herbs, then serve immediately.
