FULL RECIPE:
Serves: 2 (if using 2 portions of ramen)
Preparation time: 10-15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 packet of instant ramen noodles (throw away the sauce packets)
6-7 Brussel sprouts (trim the bottom, slice in half)
Tenderstem broccoli
½ a block of tofu (extra firm), one half - sliced
6-7 Smithy Shiitake Mushrooms, trim the end of the stem and slice in half
1 Orange, sliced in half
Fresh root ginger, trimmed and finely sliced into thin strips
Spinach
White beans - 1 can, drained
Miso
Spring onions, finely sliced
Black Pepper
Granulated Garlic
Salt
1 tsp Sesame Oil
Directions:
Pre-heat oven 215dc / over 400fc
Boil the kettle and pour into a saucepan, turn on the heat
Season tofu in a bowl, place slices in a bowl, drizzle a little oil to coat and sprinkle with black pepper, granulated garlic and salt.
Add a little oil in a cast-iron pan on a hot heat, and add tofu slices
Add mushrooms to the tofu bowl, add sesame oil, salt and pepper. Toss the mushrooms in the oil and seasoning with your hands. Add in the broccoli, a little more sesame oil and coat. Transfer to another bowl
Add brussel sprouts to the seasoned bowl.
Move tofu to a baking paper lined baking tray, add brussel sprouts to pan and toss to coat, leave to sear, toss when slightly crisp, add sliced ginger
Squeeze orange halves over the brussel sprouts to glaze, mix lightly and place sprouts and tenderstem broccoli next to the tofu on the baking tray
Put mushrooms in the pan, press them with another cast-iron pan, toss with tongs and press again
Add noodles to pan of boiling water
Place mushrooms on the baking tray next to the sprouts
Pop tray in the oven and roast
Drain noodles
Whisk miso paste in the noodle pan water
Plate up your noodles
Add a little oil to the pan, spread out with kitchen roll, place in the spinach, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat.
Add white beans into the water
Take the baking tray out of the oven
Ladle on the miso and white bean broth beside the ramen, the ramen will soak up the flavour. Place tofu on the side, along with the vegetables and finally the spinach.
Garnish with spring onion.

People can be chefs all they want but when they're clean chefs, it hits different!

Totally agree!!

[@ZmoPaR]

Just subbed! Excellent content. I'm last 4 months a vegan, but prior to that did not eat red meat the whole of my life. But Between Gaz' channel, yours and the Game Changer doc. My wife and I made the switch. I am so happy this is starting to pick up momentum and big retailers are taking it seriously. Love the channel mate!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Thank you!! Glad you've made the big switch!

Same basic prep as the Hoisin Tofu. Nice. Just started using cast iron...game changer for searing and burner to oven cooking. A nice little trick for adding miso at the end is putting in a strainer basket, submerging in the water and whisking ...this eliminates any unincorporated miso paste.

[@ruggertictac526]

Hi Derek I saw you for the first time a few weeks ago on TV with Greg Wallace talking about your new vegan mushroom steak. Best of luck with that I can't wait to try some! I went to find some of your products - I live in Ireland- and found them in Tesco. Delicious thank you! And then I stumbled upon you cooking for/with deliciously Ella this morning. Scrumptious and I'm making that for my family this evening thanks! And that led me to your page. My question, I seem to be allergic to tofu even though it's delicious, so I stay away from it, Any chance you could do a tofu substitute recipe please? I love the way you cook. Thank you! Caroline

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Hi Caroline, thank you for sharing and watching! In regards to the tofu substitute, in most cases you can use whatever vegan product you prefer-depending on if you're trying to avoid soy completely, or if it just seems to be a tofu thing. Mushrooms are our favorite ingredient to use for "meaty" textures and flavors, but you can also try seitan, tempeh, chickpeas, beans, etc.

should never be ashamed of using instant ramen. a little tip is to shock them in cold water. they actually do react well to that.

Nice but it would be healthier to use the Millet Ramen from Cosco's.

[@wunchan9406]

Just to add pennies worth, a lot of instant noodles have palm oil in them. I've search high and low for palm oil free ones, if you're vegan for health reasons then this can be ignored but if you'll looking to save the planet then read the labels.

This looks delicious, but that is an UNGODLY amount of dishes for such a simple dish, especially when you have a hot water kettle. This dish could easily be made with 1 cast iron pan, a plate (or just use the cutting board to "hold" veg after they're cooked), and the bowl you're going to eat out of.

[@11arsenalfc1]

[@debmann5168]

Really love watching your show, but the Sunflower oil is the only thing I cringe over. There has to be a better way than using the highly refined processed oil (which ads no nutritional value, just pure processed fat and is not good for you). Yes better than meat, dairy etc, but what about using veg stock? I think the tiny amount of sesame oil is okay because it is truly minimal for flavor and a light coat. Or, is there a better oil and use less of it?
