Instructions
Baked Tofu Topping
Start by preparing the baked tofu cubes. If you'd prefer to skip this step, you can use raw cubed tofu instead or leave it out altogether.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine the cubed tofu, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl and toss to coat.
Place the tofu in a single layer on a parchment lined baking tray. Bake the tofu for 10 minutes, then flip it and bake for another 10 minutes.
Ramen Noodle Soup
Heat a medium sized pot and add ½ of a teaspoon of sesame oil (or olive oil) and the garlic. Saute for 2 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth and bring the pot to a boil.
Add your veggies of choice (see suggested veggies add-ins and create your own combo) and simmer for about 3-5 minutes, until veggies are cooked yet still crisp.
Add the ramen noodles and simmer until the noodles are cooked, following the cooking time noted on the package.
Remove the pot from the heat. Add the soy sauce and sriracha and adjust to taste. Pour the soup into a bowl, add the baked tofu, and sprinkle with green onion and red pepper flakes. Serve with any additional toppings and add-ins if you desire.
