This vegetarian ramen is served with a creamy, savory peanut miso broth, crispy tofu, and pan-fried shiitake mushrooms. Admittedly, this is not an authentic Japanese recipe, but rather a simple, everyday peanut ramen made with uncomplicated, easy-to-find ingredients.

Instructions

1
|
Place the corn, peanut butter, gochujang, miso, ginger, soy sauce, milk, water, and stock cube in a blender and blend until smooth.
2
|
Squeeze the tofu between a paper towel or a clean dish towel to remove excess moisture, then crumble it with your fingers. Mix the tofu crumbs with cornstarch in a bowl. Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly; wash the spring onions and slice them into thin rings.
3
|
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and spread the tofu in it. Fry over medium-high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes without turning. Meanwhile, pour the broth into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring water for the noodles to a boil in a separate pot.
4
|
Once the underside is golden brown and crispy, turn the tofu crumbs over and fry for another 3 to 4 minutes until they are nicely crispy all over. Reduce the heat and add the dark and light soy sauce, stirring constantly for another 2 minutes until the tofu crumbs are evenly coated in the sauce.
5
|
Remove the tofu from the pan, place the pan back on the stove and fry the mushrooms in the remaining oil (1 teaspoon) over medium-high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, until soft and golden brown, shaking the pan occasionally.
6
|
Once the water for the noodles is boiling, add plenty of salt and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and then divide them between two bowls with the tofu and mushrooms.
7
|
Pour the hot peanut broth into bowls and garnish with the prepared spring onions.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Tofu Texture Mastery 🧊
    Press tofu for at least 30 minutes between paper towels and weighted plates to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispier exterior when pan-frying.
  • Umami Bomb Broth 🥣
    Toast the miso paste and gochujang in the pan for 30 seconds before adding liquids to intensify their complex flavor profiles and create deeper umami notes.
  • Mushroom Caramelization Technique 🍄
    Use a cast-iron skillet and resist the urge to move shiitake mushrooms frequently, allowing them to develop a rich, golden-brown crust through proper caramelization.
  • Cornstarch Coating Trick 🥢
    Lightly dust tofu cubes in cornstarch before frying to create an ultra-crisp exterior that stays crunchy even when added to the broth.
  • Layered Broth Building 🌶️
    Bloom dry spices like ginger in oil before adding liquids to extract maximum flavor, creating a more complex and aromatic ramen broth.
