  2. 2

    Add the sugar, broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil and simmer the mixture, covered, for 3 minutes, stirring so nothing sticks.

  3. 3

    Stir the cornstarch mixture, stir it into the vegetable mixture, and bring the liquid to a boil until evenly mixed.

  4. 4

    Season to taste with red pepper flakes. Simmer until heated through and serve over noodles.
