INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to boil for the ramen noodles. Trim and quarter the Brussels sprouts. Peel and mince the garlic. Drain and cut the tofu into 1 inch cubes.
Add quartered Brussels sprouts to a baking sheet, toss with 2 tsp (4 tsp) vegetable oil, and sprinkle with salt. Roast until sprouts are crispy and browned, 10 to 14 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed tofu and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned in places, 3 to 5 minutes. Add minced garlic, nori spice, peanuts, and a pinch of salt and toss until peanuts are toasted, another 2 to 3 minutes. TIP: If you’re making the 4 serving recipe, cook the tofu in batches.
Once the water in the medium saucepan is boiling, add fresh ramen noodles and cook until just al dente, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process.
Add spicy peanut sauce, tamari, and rice vinegar to the medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add cooked ramen noodles and a pinch of salt, and toss to coat. Cook until hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
Divide the peanut noodles between large bowls. Top with roasted Brussels sprouts and nori-spiced tofu. Drizzle with Sriracha. Enjoy!
