Ingredients
Ramen
- 1250ml/5 cups water (you can use up to 1500ml if you prefer it more brothy. Use 1000ml if you prefer it less brothy)
- 1½ tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp syrup (eg maple or agave) or brown sugar
- ¼ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 200g chopped frozen broccoli
- 200g frozen mixed vegetables (eg peas, sweetcorn, carrots)
- 200g vegan instant ramen noodles (lots of them are vegan – check the packet. Use gluten-free if needed)
Extras
- 200g extra firm tofu, drained, rinsed and cut into 2cm cubes
- 100g (approx.) pak choi, halved lengthways
Optional toppings: crispy fried onions (buy in bulk in the global section in supermarkets, online or from global superstores. Check if they’re gluten-free if needed), fresh chilli, sesame seeds, spring onions
Instructions
Ramen
- Using a large saucepan, bring the water to the boil and add the miso, vinegar, syrup, chilli flakes, garlic, broccoli and mixed vegetables. Boil for 4 minutes.
- Add the noodles and flavour pouches to the pan and cook according to the instructions on the packet (around 4 minutes – don’t cook for longer than 4 minutes or the vegetables will be mushy).
Extras
- While the ramen is cooking, fry the tofu in a large wok/frying pan in a little oil until golden with either a little salt or soy sauce.
- Remove the tofu from the pan, increase the heat, add a little more oil then add the pak choi. Flash fry until slightly charred.
Assembly
- Evenly distribute the ramen into four bowls and then add the tofu, pak choi and optional extras.
