You just can’t beat a good ol’ ramen. There really is something magical about this dish and our latest creation uses the spicy Korean chilli paste ‘gochujang’, which we combine with tahini and miso to create a super simple, creamy and moreish broth for our toppings. Yaas.

Serves 2

🌿 4 tbsp tahini
🌿 2 tbsp miso paste
🌿 1 tbsp gochujang paste
🌿 2 tsp maple syrup
🌿 1 tsp sesame oil, plus extra for frying
🌿 300g (10.6oz) block of extra-firm tofu, drained
🌿 1/2 thumb of ginger, peeled + finely grated
🌿 2 garlic cloves, peeled + finely grated
🌿 150g (5.3oz) shiitake mushrooms, sliced
🌿 1 litre (33.8 fl.oz / 4 cups) vegetable stock
🌿 140g (5oz) wheat noodles
🌿 optional toppings: radish, spring onion, sesame seeds

Combine tahini, miso, gochujang, maple syrup, sesame oil and 3 tablespoons of water in a bowl, then set aside.

Slice tofu into cubes. Add a splash of sesame oil to a non-stick wok or high-sided pan on a medium heat. Add the tofu and fry for 10 mins or until golden and crispy on all sides. Next drizzle a heaped tablespoon of the spicy tahini mixture into the pan and stir to combine, then transfer the tofu to a bowl and set aside.

Add another splash of sesame oil to the pan and keep it over a medium heat, then add the ginger and garlic. Fry for a minute, stirring occasionally to prevent the ginger and garlic burning, then throw in the shiitakes and pour in the stock. Turn up the heat, bring it to a boil, then cook for 3-4 mins or until the mushroom is tender.

Meanwhile, cook the noodles in boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Divide the remaining spicy tahini mixture equally between two bowls, followed by the broth with all the sliced mushrooms. In each bowl, stir together the tahini mixture and mushroom broth (this method helps to prevent the tahini splitting) until they’re fully combined, then drop in the cooked noodles, tofu and your favourite toppings. Yum.
