Miso Ramen

Miso ramen is a comforting and flavorful Japanese breakfast dish that combines rich miso broth with noodles and fresh toppings. This dairy-free version is perfect for a warm and nourishing start to your day.

Ingredients

• Ramen noodles - 150 grams
• Miso paste (red or white) - 3 tablespoons
• Vegetable broth - 500 milliliters
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions (sliced) - 2 stalks
• Nori (seaweed sheets) - 2 pieces
• Spinach - 100 grams
• Bean sprouts - 100 grams
• Tofu (firm, cubed) - 100 grams
• Chili oil (optional) - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a medium pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the miso paste and soy sauce until fully dissolved.
3. Add the ramen noodles to the broth and cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes, until tender.
4. While the noodles are cooking, in a separate pan, lightly sauté the cubed tofu until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
5. In the last minute of cooking, add the spinach and bean sprouts to the ramen pot, allowing them to wilt.
6. Once the noodles and vegetables are cooked, divide the ramen into two bowls. Top each bowl with sautéed tofu, sliced green onions, and nori sheets.
7. Drizzle with chili oil if desired, and serve hot.
