Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add your Seitan or Tempeh into a small bowl with coconut aminos, hot sauce and oil.  Stir and let marinate for  20 minutes.
  2. Into a medium sized sauce pan add your coconut oil and heat on medium for 30 seconds before adding the ginger and garlic.  Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Reduce heat to low and add your miso paste, vegetable stock paste and peanut butter.  Stir, removing clumps and combining all ingredients. Now add your coconut aminos, chili sauce and lime.  Cook on low heat for 3 minutes or until extremely fragrant. Add water and bring mixture to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes.  Add green onions and cilantro before turning off heat and setting aside.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet on medium for 30 seconds before adding the marinated seitan or tempeh.  Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. You want it crispy but still soft.  Once cooked set aside.
  4. Steam your vegetables and dumplings of choice, season lightly and set aside.
  5. Cook your noodles, strain and set aside.
  6. To assemble your creamy ramen, add your noodles to a bowl, followed by your desired amount of broth. Top with veggies, dumplings and Seitan. Serve topped with fresh green onion, cilantro and chili oil. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Double or triple broth for freezing.  Simply let it cool then store in tight sealed jar or container in the freezer.
