    The perfect mix of Indian flavors and heat packed in noodles with vegetables and tofu. This healthy vegetarian Maggi noodles recipe is ready in less than 30 minutes!

    There's nothing like a warm bowl of Maggi noodles that doesn't say comfort. It takes me back to visits to India when us cousins would enjoy a large bowl of mid-day Maggi. This recipe adds extra vegetables, protein, and flavor to your basic Maggi (which is absolutely perfect but I now know too much about nutrition to NOT add vegetables and protein!).

    📋 Ingredients and Substitutions

    • Noodles. I used Ocean's Halo Ramen Noodles. You're welcome to use any noodles of your choice (you may just need to cook them according to the packaged instructions beforehand if you choose to use a different type of noodles). I just love the ingredients in these noodles because they're simple!
    • Vegetable broth. I like the taste of this one the best. However, you can also use water if you don't have vegetable broth or make your own vegetable broth.
    • Masala-ae-Magic Packet. You can buy these at any Indian grocery store or on Amazon. I have never tried making this masala at home but if you want to give it a try, here is a great recipe! I also like to use one packet of this because we eat it with our kids. However, if you want to turn up the heat plus flavor, you can add two packets.
    • Maggi Sauce. You can use any ketchup, sriracha sauce, or even tomato paste to give it a tangy flavor! However, I prefer Maggi Hot & Sweet Tomato Chilli Sauce. Again, you can buy this at any Indian grocery store or on Amazon.
    • Tofu. I recommend using any super firm or firm tofu. It's my basic tofu recipe that I love using with majority of my dishes. Tofu adds a great amount of protein to the dish. My favorite brand is Nasoya tofu.
    • Vegetables. I used edamame (you can use peas too!), onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, green onions. This dish is so versatile, you can use any of your favorite vegetables here.
    • Butter! If you want to make this vegan, simply omit the butter.

    📖 How to Make the Noodles

    • Cook the tofu:
      • Press the tofu by wrapping it in an absorbent towel and placing something heavy on it to remove excess water (or use a tofu press). After the tofu is pressed, cube the tofu.
      • Heat skillet and add oil on medium heat. Add the tofu. Sauté for about 5 minutes, flipping occasionally to cook until golden brown.
      • Add the liquid ingredients over the tofu. Add the dry ingredients and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Cook for additional time if you prefer yours more brown!
    • Stir fry the vegetables. Cook the vegetables just slightly. They will cook more in the broth.
    • Combine and Cook. Add the vegetable broth, masala, and the ramen noodles. Cover with a lid and let everything simmer in the broth until noodles are cooked (about 5 minutes). Do not overcook the noodles! Mix in the sauce of your choice. When plating, add the tofu to retain flavors. Top with butter and squeeze a lime before serving.
    • Garnish. I like to garnish my dish with green onions, cilantro, extra sauce, and some black sesame seeds.

    💭Storage

    I recommend storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave with water or broth before serving.
