# Instructions:
01 -
Cube 14 oz extra-firm tofu. Mince 2 cloves garlic and grate 1 tbsp fresh ginger. This initial preparation ensures your High Protein Vegan Ramen Noodles - Easy & Meal Prep Ready comes together efficiently and quickly.
02 -
In a large pot, combine 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, 1/4 cup white miso paste, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, and 1 tsp sriracha (optional). Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
03 -
Add 12 oz vegan ramen noodles (3 blocks) to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually 3-4 minutes, until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. This forms the hearty foundation of your High Protein Vegan Ramen Noodles - Easy & Meal Prep Ready.
04 -
Stir in the cubed 14 oz extra-firm tofu and 1 cup shelled edamame (frozen) into the pot. Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the edamame to heat through and the tofu to absorb the delicious broth flavors.
05 -
Add 5 oz baby spinach to the pot. Stir gently until the spinach wilts, which should only take about 1 minute. Remove the pot from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking the vibrant greens.
06 -
Ladle the High Protein Vegan Ramen Noodles - Easy & Meal Prep Ready into individual bowls. Garnish each serving with 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1 tbsp chili oil (optional) for an extra kick.
# Notes:
01 -
Meal Prep Tip: For best texture, store the cooked noodles and broth separately. Combine and reheat gently when ready to serve.
02 -
Crispy Tofu Option: For a chewier texture, pan-fry or air-fry the cubed tofu until golden brown before adding it to the ramen.
03 -
Broth Customization: Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level. For an even deeper umami, add a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of dried shiitake mushroom powder.
04 -
Gluten-Free Friendly: Ensure your vegan ramen noodles are certified gluten-free and use tamari instead of soy sauce for a completely gluten-free dish.
