🧄 Ingredients

For the Broth:

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp chilli flakes 🌶
4 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
2 inches fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp powdered)
1 tsp turmeric
Juice of 1 lime 🍋
2 tbsp miso paste
2 tbsp smooth peanut butter 🥜
2 tbsp tahini
400ml coconut milk 🥥
1 litre vegetable stock
Salt & pepper to taste 🧂
3–4 packs of ramen noodles 🍜 (Udon works great!)

For Garnish:

Chilli oil 🌶
Fresh herbs, green onions, sesame seeds (optional)

🍽 Rosemary Garlic Tofu (Crispy & Flavorful)

1 block extra-firm tofu, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1½ tbsp cornstarch
1½ tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary 🌿
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt

👩‍🍳 Method

Step 1: Prepare the Tofu

1️⃣ Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
2️⃣ In a bowl, mix cornstarch, nutritional yeast, rosemary, garlic powder, pepper, and salt.
3️⃣ Toss the diced tofu in olive oil, then coat it evenly in the seasoning mix.
4️⃣ Spread tofu on a lined baking tray and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Flip halfway through for extra crisp.

Step 2: Make the Broth

1️⃣ In a large pot, heat vegetable oil and chilli flakes over medium heat until fragrant.
2️⃣ Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3️⃣ Stir in grated ginger and turmeric; cook for another minute.
4️⃣ Add miso paste, peanut butter, and tahini. Stir well to combine into a thick paste.
5️⃣ Pour in the coconut milk and mix until smooth and creamy.
6️⃣ Squeeze in lime juice and stir.
7️⃣ Add vegetable stock and bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
8️⃣ Add the ramen noodles directly into the broth (if using quick-cook ones) and simmer until cooked through. If using noodles that require pre-cooking, boil them separately and add to the bowl when serving.

🥢 To Serve

Pour the rich, spicy broth with noodles into your serving bowls.
Top each bowl with a generous portion of the crispy tofu.
Drizzle with chilli oil 🌶 and garnish with fresh herbs or green onions if desired.

💡 Pro Tips

For extra heat, sprinkle crushed chilli or add a dash of sriracha.
Swap tofu for crispy mushrooms or tempeh for a different protein option.
Make it gluten-free by using rice noodles and checking your miso/tamari.
