1 block extra firm tofu 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup teriyaki 1 clove garlic, grated
Miso Peanut Ramen:
1 tablespoon red curry paste or roasted red chili paste 1 tablespoon white miso 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter (just a little plop) 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 1/2 cups water + 1 1/2 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon roasted chicken or vegetable base (sub 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth) 1 (14-ounce) can full fat coconut milk 6 ounces uncooked ramen noodles (two 3-ounce packets, just the noodles)
Prep Tofu: Press tofu with paper towels to remove some of the water. Grate tofu on a box grater, on medium / large holes. Crisp Tofu: Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu shreds; saute until golden and lightly crisped (it usually takes me 10-15 minutes to really get it to have some crispy / chewy texture).
Sauce Tofu: Add the teriyaki sauce and grated garlic to the “thirsty” tofu. Sauté for another 5-10 minutes to caramelize further. Add 1-2 tablespoons more sauce as desired. Transfer to a separate bowl and wipe out the pan. Make Ramen Broth: In the same pan, heat the curry paste, miso, peanut butter, soy sauce, and brown sugar until it’s worked into a thick paste. Add the coconut milk and broth, and whisk until incorporated. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened and creamy. Ramen: Meanwhile, boil ramen in a separate pot for 3-4 minutes; drain, and add to sauce. Simmer 1-2 minutes until the noodles are well-coated (and add more broth if you want it to be more soupy).
Serve: Transfer noodles into in bowls, and pour a scoop of the broth over the top. Top with the tofu, herbs, and chili crisp on top.
Love your channel and literally gasped when I saw you say Costco coming soon cause you are around my area! I have been waiting for like 2+ yrs for them to hurry up already! I go to the one in MA sometimes or order online but will be happy when there is one closer! Thanks for your info and recipe reviews! 😊
OMG OMG OMG I live near you!!! Do you shop at the Honest Weight Food Coop? I know you like Aldi, but back when I was in college, they had the best prices EVER!!!
Rotisserie chicken from anywhere is the best quick go-to lazy day, affordable dinner boost! We normally get em from Sam's or Meijer and they usually reduce the price if you get em later in the day, if there are any left by then 👀 💖🙌

"This is where I'd put my rotisserie chicken from costco – IF I HAD ANY."
More tofu recipes would be awesome, I'm trying to transition to vegetarian and I struggle with how to cook tofu. Also which kind of tofu
