noodle soup with tofu
Lunches can be a pain. Anything that is easy to fix and is not mac & cheese is my friend.
Put about 6 cups water on to boil.
Cut a 3" slab of firm tofu into half-inch cubes and set to dry on paper towels.
When the water is boiling, put in fresh udon noodles, pho, dried buckwheat soba, or ramen if there's nothing else.
When the noodles are mostly done, dump in the tofu.
Dip out about 1/3 cup of boiling water and mix 3T of miso paste into it.
Turn off the flame and as the boiling subsides, dump the miso back in, also about 2T liquid soup base.
Soup should not boil after miso is added.
Adult seasoning: kim chee, sriracha.
Kid seasoning: soy sauce, furikake.
And don't get me wrong, there is plenty of mac & cheese in my pantry too.
