I used a food processor slicing disk to do all the veggies and used brown rice ramen that recently became available near where I live. I use home made veggie broth and put a fat scoop of red miso in it.

    How do you prepare the tofu before it goes in, or do you just simmer it in the broth until it’s cooked?

    I gotta make a vegan thai noodle dish for work on Friday that’s basically going to be curried rice noodles, veg, + tofu. The recipe just says to add the tofu near the end and simmer it for the last 8-10 minutes, but that seems like, idk, kinda sad? Like the texture won’t be very good, just braised tofu? So I’m thinkin the Better Thing To Do would be to dredge it and deep fry it and then toss it together with the noodles/curry

    BUT, i’m lazy and hate doing that because it makes a big mess of the fryer and area around it. but I still wanna make good food y’know. I could also roast it too idk

    What’re yall’s thoughts, vegans

      I love plain simmered tofu! This in particular was just simmered in the broth and the broth was very flavorful, especially with the miso.

      A good middle ground is to cube the tofu and cook it on medium high heat in a skillet until it starts to turn golden brown. It takes a while to cook the water off, but once you do it browns easily with a bit of oil. That, with some sauce in your dish would be great I would think.
