Spicy Ramen Noodles
with Togarashi Tofu & Mushrooms
Inspired by Japanese mazemen ramen, this broth-less noodle dish has a rich, umami flavor. Togarashi, a Japanese spice blend with bird’s eye chiles, adds heat and dimension to crispy tofu. A spicy, savory tahini sauce complements earthy mushrooms and crisp-tender bok choy in this high-fiber, high-protein dinner.
