Description

Indulge in this quick and flavorful spicy miso ramen topped with crispy tofu, perfect for busy weeknights or cozy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 3 tbsp red miso paste
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 200g fresh or dried ramen noodles
  • 300g firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Sliced green onions
  • Soft-boiled eggs (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a pot, combine vegetable broth, red miso paste, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sriracha sauce. Simmer over medium heat while stirring until fully dissolved.
  2. Press the firm tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes and season lightly with salt.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu until golden brown on all sides, about five minutes. Set aside on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  4. In a large pot of boiling water, cook ramen noodles according to package instructions until al dente (approximately three minutes if using fresh noodles). Drain and set aside, reserving some noodle water.
  5. Add cooked noodles into the simmering broth and stir gently for about two minutes on low heat to soak up flavors.
  6. Ladle hot ramen into bowls and top generously with crispy tofu cubes and optional toppings like sliced green onions or soft-boiled eggs.
  7. Enjoy your delicious creation!
