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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Cook noodles: In a separate pot, cook ramen noodles according to package directions. Add peas and edamame in the last 2 minutes. Drain.

  4. Assemble: Divide noodles and vegetables between two bowls. Ladle warm miso broth over top. Add crispy tofu.

  5. 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
