Ingredients
Broth
- 600ml water
- 2 tbsp miso paste (white or red)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
Noodles & Vegetables
- 2 portions ramen noodles (dry)
- 100g frozen peas
- 100g frozen edamame
- 2 green onions, sliced
Tofu
- 1 block soy marinated tofu, cubed
- 1 tbsp grapeseed oil
Garnish
- Sesame seeds
- Chili flakes or togarashi
- Drizzle of sesame oil
Instructions
Crisp the tofu: Cut tofu into 2cm cubes. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden on several sides. Set aside.
Make broth: Bring water to a simmer in a pot. Remove from heat and whisk in miso paste, soy sauce, and grated ginger. Don’t boil after adding miso.
Cook noodles: In a separate pot, cook ramen noodles according to package directions. Add peas and edamame in the last 2 minutes. Drain.
Assemble: Divide noodles and vegetables between two bowls. Ladle warm miso broth over top. Add crispy tofu.
Garnish: Top with green onions, sesame seeds, chili flakes, and a drizzle of sesame oil.
Notes
- Miso tip: Never boil miso—it kills the beneficial probiotics and dulls the flavor.
- Storage: Keep broth and noodles separate if meal prepping. Noodles absorb liquid.
- Variations: Add a soft-boiled egg, swap tofu for chicken, or add bok choy.
Equipment Used
- Medium pot
- Skillet
