  • 1 t Avocado Oil
  • 4 T GF Breadcrumbs
  • 4 T Nutritional Yeast

Ramen

  • 4 Mushrooms Sliced
  • 1 Zucchini Sliced

  • 1 T Ginger Minced
  • 1 Garlic Clove Minced
  • 3 T Peanut Butter
  • 1 T Gochujang Paste *

  • 2 T Tamari
  • 4 cups Vegetable Stock or water
  • 6 oz Ramen or Udon Noodles

Garnish

  • 1 Lime
  • 1 t Black Sesame Seeds
  • Handful Microgreens

Instructions
 

Crispy Tofu

  • Prep tofu by allowing to thaw slightly and cutting into strips, marinating in a few tablespoons of tamari for 15 minutes (or longer). If using oven, preheat to 400F/200C. Prep a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper.
  • Add avocado oil to tofu then cover with breadcrumb & nutritional yeast mixture.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, flipping once. Or my preferred method is to airfry tofu at 380 for 20 minutes, flipping once!

Ramen

  • In a deep fry pan or medium sauce pan over medium heat, add avocado oil and saute carrots with ginger and garlic for 2 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and zucchini, saute an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add peanut butter, gochujang, maple, tamari with 1/4 cup vegetable stock or water and simmer until combined.
  • Add rest of vegetable stock or water, bring to a boil.
  • Add ramen or udon noodles and simmer until noodles are cooked.
  • Serve with crispy tofu, a generous squeeze of lime, sesame seeds, and microgreens!
