- For more heat, add more sriracha or toss in some sliced fresh chili peppers.

FAQs
Can I make this dish vegetarian?
Yes! You can switch the chicken for tofu and use vegetable broth instead.
How spicy is this ramen?
The heat level can be adjusted based on the amount of sriracha you add. Start with a tablespoon and add more according to your preference.
