Stir-Fried Tofu Ramen

This Vietnamese Ramen leans on caramel and pepper to do the heavy lifting. We stir-fry the Tofu for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the caramel and pepper elements, and pat the tofu dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the firm tofu and stir-fry until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the rice paper and the rest of the caramel and pepper flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the baby potatoes along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
