Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 pack Clearspring Organic Japanese Miso Ramen
• 400ml Water
• 160g Blue Dragon Silken Tofu, cut into cubes
• 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 3 Baby Corn
• 3 Tender Stem Broccoli stalks
• 3 White Button Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 Red Chilli, sliced (adjust to your preference)
• 1 Large Spring Onion, thinly sliced
• Pickled Ginger
• Garlic or Garlic Granules
• Splash of Low Salt Soy Sauce

Instructions:

• Wash all the vegetables and prepare them as follows:
• Slice mushrooms either length ways or into quarters.
• Half the red pepper and slice it into strips.
• Remove the tough ends of the tender stem broccoli.
• Thinly slice the spring onion bulb, saving the green part for garnish.
• Heat a wok on medium-high heat with a small splash of oil. Add the tofu cubes turning regularly to seal the edges. Season the tofu with Garlic or Garlic Granules and a splash of low salt Soy Sauce. Set a timer for 10 minutes.
• While the tofu is cooking, separate it to the side of the wok, or use a separate frying pan if needed. Add the tenderstem broccoli and baby corn to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
• In the meantime, fill a saucepan with 400ml of water and bring it to a boil.
• Add the red pepper and mushrooms to the wok and continue stir-frying your veggies for another 2-3 minutes, keeping the tofu separated to prevent it from breaking up until you have around 4 minutes left on your timer.
  
  
  
• Add your ramen noodles to the now boiling water.
• Add the sliced spring onions to the wok and continue stir-frying.
• Turn off the heat on the wok once the tofu is browned but not burnt, and set it aside.
• When the timer is almost up, add the miso paste to your noodles. Stir for around 30 seconds.
• Add your ramen noodles and soup to a large bowl. Arrange the stir-fried vegetables and tofu on top of the noodles.
• Garnish with the remaining sliced spring onion and finely sliced fresh red chilli, I like mine hot so I used most of it but you can leave the chilli out if you prefer less heat! Add a pickled ginger for a sweet fiery kick.
  
  Honestly this dish had me wanting more, it was SO tasty. flavourful and colourful and full of zing.
