Vegan Ramen

by BBC Good Food

Enjoy this vegan ramen for a tasty midweek meal in just 25 minutes. Mushrooms and miso paste give the broth plenty of umami flavour

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Crush the garlic with the back of a big knife, then put it in a saucepan with the ginger, miso, tahini, mushrooms, stock and soy. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover and bubble for 5 mins until the ginger is soft. Strain into a clean pan and discard everything left in the strainer.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cook the tofu. Toss it in the cornflour and heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry for a few mins on each side, being careful as you turn it that it doesn’t fall apart. Cook the noodles for 1 min less than pack instructions, so they retain a little bite. Drain and leave in the pan with a little cooking water so they don’t stick together.

Step 3

Add the pak choi and whites of the spring onions to the broth and gently reheat for 1-2 mins until the greens have just wilted.

Step 4

Divide the noodles between two deep bowls, ladle over the broth and veg. Top with the tofu, beansprouts, carrot and ginger matchsticks, green parts of the spring onions and a drizzle of sesame oil.
