Easy Saucy Ramen Noodles

Print Recipe

A comforting bowl of flavorful ramen noodles, combining savory and sweet sauce with tofu and veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 servings dry instant ramen noodles (approximately 140 g)
  • 10 oz extra-firm tofu (pressed and cubed)
  • Veggies or mushrooms of your choice, sliced (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms)
  • 1 cup water or vegetable broth
  • 5–7 tbsp soy sauce (to taste)
  • 1.5 tsp dark soy sauce (optional)
  • 2–3 tbsp corn starch
  • 1–3 tbsp sugar, maple syrup, or other sweeteners
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar, white vinegar, or lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • Chopped scallions (for topping)
  • Sesame seeds (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, corn starch, sweetener, vinegar, ground pepper, and garlic. Whisk until well incorporated and set aside.
  2. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot. Add the ramen noodles and cook for about 3 minutes until slightly underdone. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and cubed tofu, sautéing until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add sliced veggies and sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with cooked veggies and simmer for about 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  6. Add cooked noodles and tofu back into the pan, gently tossing to coat everything in the sauce. Cook for an additional 3 minutes to meld flavors.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or sweetener if needed.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Quality ingredients yield the best flavor. Ensure tofu is pressed to absorb flavors better.
