1. Directions for the sauce (note this recipe makes about 1/2 cup of sauce):
2. * Place a sauce pan on low heat.
3. Add brown sugar and light soy sauce.
4. Simmer it until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is thicker.
5. * Add sake, black soy sauce, sriracha and garlic chili sauce; turn off the heat.
6. Leave out the garlic chili sauce if you want a regular teriyaki sauce and not too spicy.
7. * Let the sauce cool completely it will thicken up a bit when it cools.
8. If you use it right away, the sauce is too runny.
9. * Set aside.
10. Directions for the dish:
11. * Cook ramen in boiling water for 5 minutes until tender or follow the package instruction.
12. You do need to add salt.
13. Its unlike cooking pasta.

15. Pour 1 teaspoon of the teriayaki sauce over each bowl and coat the noodles well.
