In a mixing bowl, add apple cider vinegar, apple cider and fish sauce. Stir to combine. Add in sliced apples and set aside. Caramelize onions. In a frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and season with salt, stir and cover, letting onions soften, undisturbed, for about 2-3 mins. Remove lid and let onions caramelize, stirring occasionally until golden brown, about 10 mins. Adjust heat if onions are browning too quickly. Set aside. Cook the tofu. Brush a thin layer of char siu sauce on one side of the tofu. Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in the same frying pan over medium high heat. Add tofu with sauce-side face down and cook undisturbed for 3 mins, or until golden brown. Brush the other side of the tofu with sauce and flip to cook for another 3 mins. Set aside. Make the apple shoyu tare. In a small bowl, add soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, mirin and sugar. Stir to combine and set aside. Cook the noodles. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles for 4 minutes. Then, rinse noodles in cold water to stop cooking, drain and set aside. Make the broth. In the same pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the ramen spice packet and stir to combine. Add 1-2 tbsp of the apple shoyu tare, depending on your taste preference. Add ramen noodles to a bowl and top with tofu, pickled apples and caramelized onions. Pour in broth and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
