Instructions
Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil.
While waiting for the water to boil, place another pot on the burner over medium heat. Add olive oil or sesame oil to the pan (if oil-free, can use 1 tbsp water as the veggies start to stick to the pan). Saute the onion, ginger, and garlic for a minute.
Add the tofu to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, flip, and cook another 4 minutes.
Now add the vegetable broth, soy milk, tahini, and tamari to this same pot and stir.
Add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking in the broth, cook your ramen noodles in the pot of boiling water. Refer to the directions on your package of ramen (be sure to place it in cold water immediately after cooking). Once cooked, divide the noodles into 3-4 large bowls.
Bring the broth pot to a temperature just below boiling and remove from heat before stirring in the miso.
Ladle the broth over the noodles then top with the cooked vegetables, tofu, chili garlic sauce, and garnish with green onion and sesame seeds. Enjoy your miso ramen!

Notes
Low-Fat Option: Leave out the oil and tahini (can also leave out the soy milk and add a cup or two of veggie broth). If you want your tofu extra crispy, add a step by pan-frying your tofu and just adding it to your ramen bowl when ready to eat!Optional Topping Add-Ons: You can add any veggies you enjoy like carrots, corn, bok choy, edamame, nori sheets, sweet potatoes, shredded kale, and more. Go ahead and experiment with different toppings!
