Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g ramen noodles
- 200 g firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1.5 liters low-sodium vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 150 g shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 200 g bok choy, chopped
- 100 g corn kernels
- 2 pieces green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 sheets nori sheets, shredded
Instructions
1. Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap it in paper towels and place a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.
2. While the tofu is pressing, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
3. Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the tofu cubes. Fry until all sides are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In a large pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
6. Pour the vegetable broth into the pot and bring to a simmer. Stir in the white miso paste and soy sauce until fully dissolved.
7. Add the bok choy and corn kernels to the broth and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
8. Divide the cooked ramen noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot miso broth over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets a fair share of the vegetables.
9. Top with crispy tofu, chopped green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and shredded nori sheets.
10. Serve hot and enjoy your vegetarian miso ramen!
