Before you start
Microplane or garlic crush | Medium saucepan | Frying pan | Griddle pan
For the ramen base
- Peel and grate the garlic and ginger
- Heat 1 tbsp veg oil in a saucepan over medium to low heat, once hot, add the garlic and ginger. Gently fry for a minute until fragrant, making sure it doesn’t burn
- Drain the kimchi cabbage from the liquid, and add the cabbage to the pot. Stir fry for 2 minutes, constantly stirring. Next, add the kimchi liquid, gochujang and veg stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer whilst you prepare the other elements
Prepare the fillings
- Cook the noodles as per the instructions on the packet
- Cut the silken tofu into bite sized pieces
- For the pak choy, heat a griddle pan over high heat. Slice each pak choy in half from top to bottom and toss with olive oil. Place on the griddle pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and nicely charred. Set to one side
Finish the soup
- Take the soup off the heat. Mix the miso paste with 2 tbsp room temperature water until you have a loose paste and pour into the broth, followed by the soy sauce. Taste, and add more soy sauce if you want it saltier, or a pinch of sugar if you want some sweetness
- Divide the noodles and broth between 4 bowls. Then top each bowl with the tofu, pak choi, sesame seeds, edamame, spring onion, and chilli oil if you fancy!
