For the Tofu:

- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon sriracha,, optional
For the Noodles
- 1 10.75 oz pack of ramen noodles,, or noodles of choice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, , minced
- 1 small red onion,, sliced
- 1 bell pepper,, sliced
- ½ cup mushrooms,, sliced
- ½ cup frozen edamame
- 2 ½ cups vegetable broth
- 1 packet Masala-ae-Magic
- 2 tablespoons Maggi Hot and Sweet Tomato Chilli Sauce;, or tomato-based sauce of choice
- ½ cup water;, optional
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 stems green onions
- cilantro to garnish
- juice of one lime
For 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 a skillet and add oil on medium heat. Add the tofu. Sauté for about 5 minutes, flipping occasionally to cook until golden brown.
Add the soy sauce and maple syrup over the tofu. Then add the garlic powder, black pepper, and nutritional yeast and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Cook for additional time if you prefer yours more brown.
Remove from heat and set aside.
For the Noodles:
Heat oil in a skillet. Add the garlic, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and frozen edamame. Cook for 2-3 minutes-do not overcook as they will cook for additional time in the broth.
Add the broth, masala and mix well. Add the noodles and allow them to immerse in the broth. Cover with a lid and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not overcook the noodles.
Mix in the sauce of your choice. If you like your Maggi to be more liquidy, you may add water at this time. Top with butter and serve warm.
When plating, add the tofu on top to retain flavors. Squeeze a lime before serving. Garnish with green onions, cilantro, extra sauce, and black sesame seeds.
- 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.
