Ingredients

Serves: 2-3 Time: 1 hour

Tahini & Tofu Ramen

• 2 packs of ramen noodles
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• Optional toppings: minced cilantro, sesame seeds, lime juice, sriracha

Roasted Vegetables

• 1 small bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 heaping cup broccoli florets
• 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced

Roasted Tofu

• 1 heaping Tbs corn starch
• 2 Tbs soy sauce
• Dash of sesame oil
• Dash of black pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 package extra firm tofu, pressed and cubed

Tahini Sauce

• 2 Tbs sesame oil
• 1/4 cup water or use some of the remaining ramen broth
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1 tsp thai chili sauce
• 1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled & minced
• 1 garlic clove, peeled & chopped
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF and prepare your tofu (see pressing instructions).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the other ingredients for the tofu and stir together with a rubber spatula.
3. Carefully fold the drained tofu cubes into the bowl, evenly coating them with the mixture.
4. Transfer the tofu to a lightly greased baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25 minutes. You may flip halfway through to get an even crisp on both sides. Don’t be discouraged if the tofu sticks to the pan. It will also roast fine if it isn’t flipped.
5. Meanwhile, prepare your remaining vegetables. Lightly toss them in sesame oil in a bowl and season with black pepper, soy sauce, and garlic powder.
6. Then, prepare your tahini sauce by combining the sauce ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
7. Once the tofu is nice and crispy on the outside, remove from the oven and set aside. Reduce the heat of the oven to 375ºF.
8. Transfer the seasoned veggies to a roasting pan or baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
9. In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Once boiling, cook the ramen noodles until lightly tender and chewy.
10. After the ramen is cooked, drain most of the broth and then add the tahini sauce. The noodles shouldn’t be too broth but also not too sticky.
11. Add the cooked tofu and roasted veggies to the noodles then serve.
12. Top with optional toppings if desired and enjoy!
