Organic Millet & Brown Rice Ramen (4 Ramen Cakes)

1

Slice tofu into small bite size pieces. Wrap in cloth with a heavy item on top (we use the cutting board) for 15 mins to squeeze out extra liquid. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the tofu from sticking. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss tofu with the spice mix and add 4 tbsp avocado oil. Toss well and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Bake 25 mins.
2

Steam or blanch the vegetables until tender yet crisp, then set aside. Heat a large skillet and add 2 tbsp avocado oil. Toss veggies in oil and cover for 5 mins. When slightly charred, add 1 tbsp minced garlic. Toss and cover again for another few minutes. Uncover and add 2 tbsp coco aminos. Toss and turn off burner.
3

Cook noodles according to directions on package. Drain water from the pot. Add 1 tbsp minced garlic and 2 tbsp coco aminos. Mix well and set aside.
4

Divide noodles between 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with sautéed vegetables and crispy tofu.
5

Optional: sprinkle sesame seeds over each bowl for added texture and flavor along with crushed peanuts and sliced avocados. Finish with a drizzle of coco aminos or teriyaki sauce over each bowl.
