# Instructions:
01 -
Press and cube 14 oz extra-firm tofu. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and gently cook 4 large eggs for 6-7 minutes for a jammy yolk. Set aside to cool, then peel.
02 -
In a large pot, combine 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, 2 tbsp gluten-free white miso paste, 1 tbsp tamari, 1 tbsp fresh ginger, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. This forms the base for your Savory Gluten Free Ramen Noodles (High Protein).
03 -
While the broth simmers, heat a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add the cubed 14 oz extra-firm tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides. Add 4 oz shiitake mushrooms and sauté until tender.
04 -
In a third pot, cook 8 oz gluten-free ramen noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside. This ensures your Savory Gluten Free Ramen Noodles (High Protein) have perfect texture.
05 -
Add 2 cups baby spinach to the simmering broth and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until just wilted. The broth should remain hot, ready for assembly.
06 -
Divide the cooked 8 oz gluten-free ramen noodles among 4 serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth with wilted 2 cups baby spinach over the noodles. Arrange the cooked 14 oz extra-firm tofu and 4 oz shiitake mushrooms.
07 -
Halve the peeled 4 large eggs and place two halves in each bowl. Garnish your Savory Gluten Free Ramen Noodles (High Protein) with 2 green onions, 1 sheet nori strips, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Serve immediately, with 1 tsp chili oil if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispy tofu, press it for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water before cubing and cooking.
02 -
Store leftover ramen components separately. Keep broth, noodles, and toppings in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat broth and combine just before serving.
03 -
Feel free to customize your ramen with other vegetables like bok choy, corn, or bamboo shoots. You can also add a pinch of nutritional yeast to the broth for an extra cheesy, umami kick.
04 -
Adjust the tamari and miso paste in the broth to your taste. If you prefer a spicier kick, add more chili oil or a dash of sriracha directly to your bowl.
