Peanut and Coconut Ramen Soup with Tofu

It’s a noodle kind of recipe. 10% noodles, 90% love. You won’t believe how easy is to make this delicious Peanut and Coconut Ramen Soup with Tofu recipe at home.

For a spicy taste add 1/2 or 1 teaspoon chili flakes, at the beginning when you cook the garlic and ginger. And for a strong peanut taste, simply add more peanut butter.

For this recipe you already need to have vegetable broth done. This recipe works best with unsalted or slightly salted vegetable broth. If your broth is salted, add only 2 tablespoon soy sauce and then add more to taste. The key to a good ramen is a vegetable broth with a strong flavor.

I used smoked tofu, cause it adds so much taste as ramen is about bringing many different flavors in just one bowl. If you can find it in supermarkets, use simple tofu.

If you can’t find sesame oil in the supermarkets or you don’t have it in the kitchen, simply replace it with any oil. The same goes with the rice vinegar. Replace it with any vinegar.
