This recipe is a low calorie, wholesome recipe that is perfect as a complete meal and filling enough for dinner.
Equipment
- 2 medium sized saucepans
- 1 non-stick frying pan
Ingredients
- 1-1.5 tbsp of miso paste of your choice
- Roughly 350ml of boiling water
- 100 g of raw firm block tofu cut into 6-10 bite size pieces
- 1 portion of brown rice/ramen noodles
- 3 medium florets of cauliflower sliced
- 1 medium carrot sliced thinly
- 3 spring onions sliced thinly OR 1/4 of a medium, white onion sliced thinly
- 1 small courgette sliced thinly
- Handful of edamame beans OR podded broad beans
- Fresh finely sliced chili to taste
- 3-4 cloves of crushed garlic
- Handful of fresh coriander
- Handful of beansprouts for topping optional
Instructions
- Start by squeezing excess water out of your tofu, then chop into 6-8 bite size chunks.
- In a non-stick pan, dry fry with a little tamari o soy sauce and ginger powder (splash the tamari over the top once your tofu is already in the pan). You could also air-fry your tofu at this point if you want a crispier texture.
- Fry your tofu on all sides until crisp and golden. Do not keep moving it about, instead leave to cook fully on one side before turning over. Once ready. leave in the hot pan ready for use.Whilst doing this process, begin prepping your veggies ready for your soup.
- Once your veggies are prepped, get your noodles on to cook in a separate pan with boiling water (no need to salt) as per packet instructions. Once cooked, add to a large soup bowl ready to have your hot soup poured on top. Do not worry about them cooling because your soup will heat it up again.
- Now grab your medium sized saucepan and add 1 heaped tbsp of your miso paste (you may need to adjust this later on to get the flavour right). Top with your already boiling water and stir until dissolved and bring to a very light simmer, It's good not to let your miso boil vigorously.
- Add your chopped veggies and very lightly simmer until al dente. Do not over cook them because they are not supposed to be too soft.
- You may need to add more hot water to just cover the vegetables, no more.
- Add your crushed garlic and chopped coriander just before you turn off the heat.
- Check the flavour. If the miso is not strong enough, add a little more to taste.
- Pour your soup over your ready prepared noodles in the large bowl.
- Top with your tofu and beansprouts if using. Add extra fresh coriander, chili, sliced spring onion, tamari, and raw beansprouts if you like.
- Serve immediately.
