FRIED TOFU AND RAMEN SOUP
This is a triple soy bonanza. If you have an Asian market near you, get some freshly made tofu. It's wonderful. Sneak around the produce department while you're there and see if you can pick up some soy bean sprouts--much tastier than mung bean sprouts. I use vegetable oil because it's soy bean oil; hence the thriple soy bonanza. Soy products have a lot of health benefits, but you are not sacrificing taste, believe me. This way of fixing ramen noodles will change your attitude towards this lowly soup. I think you'll also agree that stir-frying the vegetables before adding to the soup improves their taste and texture.

TOFU AND MUSHROOM RAMEN
Good for college kids trying to impress somebody or a quick family meal. Can be made in one pot, so that's nice. Save the ramen seasoning and make a really unhealthy dip with sour cream or Greek yogurt for later. Serve with Sriracha and soy sauce on the side.

Steps:

- Add butter to the hot pot and swirl to almost melt. Add shallot and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in water and stir in miso paste and chicken base until they are dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Distribute mushrooms and tofu amongst 4 bowls.
- Bring liquid in the pot back to a boil and add ramen bricks, 1 at a time. Boil each brick for 1 minute, remove from broth with a ladle, and set into a serving bowl. Ladle additional broth on top so the ramen noodles continue cooking.

Tips:
- Choose the right tofu: Extra-firm or firm tofu is recommended for frying. You can use medium-firm tofu, but be sure to press it well to remove excess water.
- Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu before frying helps to remove excess water, making the tofu crispier. You can use a tofu press or wrap the tofu in paper towels and place it on a plate with something heavy on top.
- Coat the tofu: Coating the tofu in cornstarch or flour before frying helps to create a crispy crust. You can also use panko breadcrumbs for a crunchy coating.
- Use a neutral oil: Use a neutral oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying the tofu. Avoid using olive oil, as it can burn easily.
- Fry the tofu in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tofu. Fry the tofu in batches to ensure that it is evenly cooked.
- Drain the tofu on paper towels: After frying, drain the tofu on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Make the ramen soup: While the tofu is frying, you can make the ramen soup. Follow the recipe instructions for the broth, noodles, and toppings.
Conclusion:
Fried tofu and ramen soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The crispy tofu and flavorful broth make for a satisfying and comforting meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this delicious dish at home.
