instructions
    1

    Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    Cook the instant ramen noodles according to the package instructions and set them aside.

    3

    In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until it's crispy. This should take about 7 minutes. Once done, remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil, then crumble it into small pieces.

    4

    In the same pan, add the tofu and cook until slightly golden, about 5 minutes on each side. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the sesame oil and stir to coat the tofu evenly.

    5

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, the tofu mixture, crumbled bacon, remaining soy sauce, black pepper, and sliced green onions. Mix well.

    6

    Divide the noodle mixture into small cups or a muffin tin, pressing down a little to compact them.

    7

    Top each cup with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

    8

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
