Prep Time 10 minutes: | Makes 1 serving

Ingredients

• 2 cups of water

• 1 package vegetarian ramen

• ½ cup collard greens

• ¼ block tofu roast, thinly sliced

• Bean spouts or vegetables of choice

• Thinly sliced scallions

• Chili flakes, optional

• Hoisin sauce, optional

Preparation

1. Boil Water: Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and add 2 cups of water. Bring the water to a full boil.

2. Cook Noodles: Add the ramen noodles (discarding the seasoning packet for now) to the boiling water and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are just cooked.

3. Transfer Noodles: Carefully remove the cooked noodles from the pan using a fork or strainer and place them directly into a serving bowl. Set aside.

4. Flavor Broth: Add the ramen seasoning packet to the hot water remaining in the saucepan and mix until fully dissolved.

5. Simmer Greens: Add the collard greens to the seasoned broth. Gently stir occasionally until the broth returns to a simmer, then immediately remove the saucepan from the heat.

6. Combine: Carefully pour the greens and hot broth directly over the noodles in the serving bowl.

7. Heat Tofu: Heat the sliced tofu roast separately in a small pan or microwave for 1–3 minutes until heated through.

8. Garnish & Serve: Add the heated tofu roast to the bowl of ramen along with the beansprouts, sliced scallions, and any optional garnishes like chili flakes or hoisin sauce. Serve right away.
