Steps:
- Remove the tofu from the package and drain liquid. Cut tofu into half lengthwise and place it in a large bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, which helps to extract liquid. Drain off excess liquid released in the microwave. Place the two pieces on a towel; place another folded towel on top and add a cutting board and a heavy object. Allow to press for 15 minutes until the water is drained.
- Slice the onion. Slice the mushrooms. Thinly slice the cabbage. Thinly slice the green onions. Thinly slice the garlic. Slice carrots into matchsticks.
- Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil and 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add the tofu and cook for about 10 minutes until lightly browned and crisp on all sides, turning occasionally. Meanwhile, stir together 2 tablespoons miso, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon water. When the tofu is browned, turn off heat and carefully pour sauce over tofu (be careful, it splatters!). Stir sauce onto tofu and cook additional minute over medium heat until fragrant.
- Cook the noodles (while you make the broth): Heat large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles to al dente. Drain and set aside. If necessary, refresh the noodles under some hot tap water before serving.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook 4 minutes until lightly browned on the edges. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until just browned, stirring constantly. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add the mushrooms, carrots, mirin, and 3 tablespoons miso paste and cook about 10 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and the coconut milk, green onions, cabbage, spinach and cook until the spinach is just wilted, about 1 minute. Taste and add about 1 tablespoon more miso paste to taste.
- To serve, place the noodles into four bowls. Top with the broth, tofu, and vegetables. Store leftovers with the broth and noodles in separate containers (to avoid the noodles soaking up all of the broth).

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.

Steps:
- To prepare the soup, in a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the vegetable broth, ginger, sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sambal. Allow to simmer 15 minutes to mingle the flavors.
- To prepare the tofu steaks, cut the tofu block lengthwise, then cut in half to make 4 slabs. Lay several layers of paper towels on a cutting board then place the tofu, side by side, on top. Cover the steaks with more paper towels and press down to drain out some of the water in the curd (making it denser and hold together better when cooked.) Combine the bread crumbs, cayenne, paprika, salt and pepper. Dip each piece of tofu into the beaten eggs then dredge in the seasoned bread crumbs to coat. Heat peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu steaks 4 minutes each side. Remove to a platter lined with fresh paper towels. Add sesame oil to the skillet, stir-fry the ginger and garlic with the chili for 2 minutes to build a base flavor. Add the broccoli and saute 3 minutes until it begins to soften, season with salt and pepper. Divide the udon noodles and spicy broth among 4 bowls. Add the broccoli then lay a piece of tofu on top. Garnish with a sprinkle of green onions, cilantro, and peanuts before serving.
VEGAN TANTANMEN WITH PAN-FRIED TOFU
Tantanmen is the Japanese version of dan dan noodles, a Sichuan dish of noodles and pork bathed in a spicy sesame broth. Chinese or Japanese sesame pastes, which are made from roasted sesame seeds and yield a more robust flavor than tahini, are traditionally used in this dish. (But tahini works too; it will produce a mellower, creamier result.) For those who keep doubanjiang, or Chinese fermented bean paste, on hand, add a teaspoon or two to your soup base for even deeper flavor. Slices of pan-fried tofu make this dish feel more substantial, but if you are looking for a shortcut, crumble it up and pan-fry it alongside the mushrooms. For non-vegans, add a jammy egg.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add noodles and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and run under cold water until the noodles are completely cold. (This stops the noodles from cooking further.) Set aside to drain.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and arrange the tofu slices in a single layer. Generously season the tofu with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat to medium, and cook tofu for 3 to 4 minutes until golden. Flip the tofu, and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes. (Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook your tofu in two batches.) Remove from the pan, set aside on a plate.
- To the same pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Pan-fry until mushrooms are tender and slightly golden, about 6 minutes.
- Prepare the broth: Pour the vegetable stock into a large pot and add the kombu, if using.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook over medium heat, about 7 minutes. Remove kombu (keep for another use) and turn off heat. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, then gradually whisk in milk, adding a little at a time, so it doesn't curdle. Once the milk has been added, heat broth over medium until it simmers.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sesame paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar and chile oil. Divide mixture across four deep noodle bowls.
- Pour the hot broth over the sesame soup base, dividing it evenly among the bowls. Whisk to combine the base with the broth.
- Divide the noodles across the bowls, and top each bowl with a few slices of tofu, mushrooms, corn, scallions, sesame seeds and an extra drop of chile oil.

- CURRY RAMEN: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until they turn translucent. Add the red curry paste, white miso paste, sambal oelek, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, and ¼ cup of water and allow the paste to cook for 4-5 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Remove 2 tablespoons of the paste to a small bowl. Add the broth and coconut milk let it come to a gentle rolling simmer before turning the heat to low and letting it simmer for 20 minutes. Prepare ingredients for bowl in the meantime.
- TOFU: press as much water out of the tofu as you can using tea towels or paper napkins. Dice tofu into small cubes. Place in zip-top bag along with cornstarch and a pinch of salt. Zip the bag and shake until the tofu is evenly coated. Heat a skillet over medium high heat with the oil. Add the tofu pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the tofu starts developing color. Add the reserved paste and stir to combine. You may need 1-2 tablespoons of water to help coat the tofu if your paste is on the thicker side. Let cook for 2-3 minutes or until paste adheres to tofu.
- EGGS, RAMEN, VEGGIES: Prepare the ramen and the mushrooms according to package directions and divide them into serving bowls. In a medium bowl, prepare an ice bath with lots of ice and water. Heat a large pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add the bok choy and allow to cook for 30 seconds or until the greens turn more vibrant. Place bok choy in the ice bath. Remove bok choy to serving bowls when cooled. Making sure the pot of water is set to a gentle simmer, add the eggs one at a time gently lowering them with a slotted spoon. Let cook for 5-6 minutes and remove to the prepared ice bath for several minutes. Check the curry base for seasonings. If it's too thick, add more broth to preference.
- SERVING: Ladle the soup onto the noodles, bok choy, and mushrooms. Top with tofu. Peel the eggs gently. Place the whole egg on the bowl and gently slice and open with a knife. Top with chopped cilantro, scallions, sesame seeds and oil as desired.
