Ingredients

Serves:2 Time: 45-60 minutes

Curry + Tahini Ramen

• 2 packs instant ramen (discard flavor packs) 
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 Tbs red curry paste
• 1 Tbs tahini
• Rice vinegar, 2-3 tsp
• Olive oil, 1 Tbs
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 Tbs curry powder
• 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp Cumin

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

• Optional toppings: chili flakes, sriracha, chopped cilantro, chopped scallions

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. Begin by preparing your vegetables. Then, begin sauté the vegetables in sesame oil. Cook until they are slightly tender. 
6. While your vegetables begin sautéing, in a pot heat 4 cups of vegetable, a splash of sesame oil, 1 Tbs of curry paste and 1 Tbs of tahini. Remove the ramen from their packs. 
7. Add the seasoning and rice vinegar to the vegetables. Once the onions are translucent and the vegetables have softened, reduce heat to low and add in your protein. 
8. When the broth is reaching a boil, add in the ramen and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the noodles are soft. 
9. At this point, your noodles and vegetables are done. Turn off the heat. If you’re preparing any add ons like a poached egg, cucumber salad, or minced cilantro, get that ready. 
10. Evenly distribute the broth, noodles, and stir-fry between two bowls. Serve and enjoy!
