I could honestly eat ramen four times a week in winter if my job wasn’t to create other recipes 😅 And with only three ramen recipes on my site, I figured it was time for a fourth one 🥹 This one is quicker and simpler: a minimalist broth made with peanut butter and red curry paste—one of my favorite ingredients to use in broths. For toppings, we’re keeping it classic with grilled tofu slices, lightly seared mushrooms, carrots, daikon, and a few peanuts!

It’s a quick, super easy, and ultra-comforting meal 💕

Steps

Prepare the broth: In a saucepan, heat a drizzle of sesame oil over high heat. Add the red curry paste and peanut butter, then stir to combine. Pour in the soy sauce and water, whisking until smooth. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Prepare the toppings: Slice the tofu and king oyster mushrooms. Grate the carrot and cut the daikon into matchsticks. Bring a pot of water to a boil for the noodles.
In a pan, heat a drizzle of sesame oil over high heat. Sear the tofu slices and mushrooms until golden on one side, then flip to grill the other side. Deglaze with soy sauce and let the liquid evaporate (about 2 minutes).
Drop the ramen noodles into the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Drain.
In bowls, serve the noodles. Pour in the broth and add the mushrooms, tofu, carrots, daikon, green onions, and peanuts. You can also drizzle some chili oil for extra heat!
