Quick Miso-Vegetable Ramen

Ingredients

8.5 c water

2 ramen noodle patties (any variety)

1.25 c carrots, julienned

3+ c mushrooms (any variety), sliced or halved

12 oz silken tofu (firm), cubed

4+ sheets seaweed, torn/chopped into pieces

6 green onions, sliced

3.5 tbsp miso (white)

2.5 tbsp ficken seasoning (-or- 2 vegetable bouillon cubes -or- an extra 1/2 tsp salt + a pinch of dried herbs)

Instructions

  1. Put 8c water on to boil, using a 4qt or larger pot.
  2. Prepare vegetables. Mix miso with 0.5 c water until it is well combined and there are not many clumps.
  3. When water boils, add ficken seasoning (or veg bouillon). Add carrots + mushrooms and return to a boil.
  4. Add ramen noodles. Set timer and cook according to package instructions (usually 2-5 minutes).
  5. Just before the timer goes off (or right after it does), drop in the tofu + seaweed + green onions. Swirl/stir gently (try not to break the tofu cubes apart). Turn off the heat.
  6. Enjoy! If you are going to store any leftovers, I recommend chilling the pot rapidly in an ice bath before refrigerating.
