Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • one 14-ounce package extra firm tofu
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • drizzle of oil and soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 8 oz shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 bok choy, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • one 1-inch piece of peeled fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Press excess water out of tofu, cut into cubes. Toss gently with cornstarch until coated. Drizzle with a little oil and soy sauce. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until golden and crispy. Toss with hoisin sauce.
  3. While tofu bakes, prepare the vegetables.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sliced shiitake mushrooms and chopped bok choy. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  5. Add minced garlic, minced ginger, and curry powder to the pot. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the coconut milk and broth. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Add ramen noodles and cook according to package directions (usually 3-4 minutes).
  8. Season with salt and a squeeze of fresh lime juice to taste. Serve hot, topped with the crispy hoisin-tossed tofu.

Notes

- Ensure your tofu is well-pressed to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when sautéing mushrooms and bok choy for better browning.
- Adjust curry powder and lime juice to your preferred spice and tanginess.
