If you thought we were done with fusion ramen, here’s another fab 1 pot noodles for you! This biriya ramen has a flavorful biriya broth in which we cook the noodles. For the vegetables in this biriya ramen, I use chilies, onions, and tofu with some chili powder and other spices.

The tofu is seasoned with Tex-Mex seasoning and cooked in the same pan just before making the ramen so you can save a dish.

This easy vegetarian ramen is so addictive! The broth is full of flavor with hints of sweet sweetness from the chipotle peppers, herbs and orange juice. This is an offbeat ramen recipe you’ll see again and again!

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 1/2 the cup (1064.65 Milli) water or vegetable stock (3 cups for less broth, 5 cups for brathier with udon. This amount also depends on your noodles. Ramen absorbs less broth)
  • 1/2 the cup (118.29 Milli) Orange juice Or use more broth and add 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 6 oz (170.1 g) Thin udon or ramen noodles

For the garnish:

instructions

  • Combine all the spices in a small bowl and set aside.

  • Heat a deep skillet or a saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil and when the oil is hot, add the onions, peppers, mushrooms and tofu and cook until the tofu is golden around some edges. 3-4 minutes. Then add 1 teaspoon or so of mixed spices on top and toss well to coat. Continue to cook until the onions turn golden. 3-5 minutes

  • Remove half or more of this tofu/mushroom mixture to use as a topping later. To the remaining mixture, add ginger-garlic paste, tomato paste, remaining spice mixture and flour and mix really well. Add 1/2 cup broth and mix until the flour is dissolved and there are no lumps.

  • Continue cooking for one minute to cook the dough. Then add the salt, broth, and orange juice and mix really well. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and add the noodles and mix them. Continue cooking until the noodles are cooked to your liking. This can take anywhere from 3-7 minutes. Check the noodles in the middle to see if they are done. Taste the broth carefully and adjust salt and tang as needed. Turn off the heat.

  • To serve use a ladle and add some broth to your serving bowl, transfer some noodles and top with the reserved mushroom/tofu mixture and then add the garnish and serve.

Components and Substitutions

  • Spices – Birria spices, such as chili powder, chipotle chilies, smoked paprika, and Mexican oregano combine to create such a delicious dish! If you can’t find Mexican oregano, you can use regular oregano, but the flavor is slightly different.
  • Vegetables – I am using onions, peppers and mushrooms for vegetables. You can add other vegetables if you want.
  • Tofu – This is your protein. You can use more mushrooms or vegan chicken substitute instead of tofu if you like.
  • Ginger-Garlic Paste – It adds so much flavor to the broth! You can use fresh ginger and garlic instead.
  • Tomato Paste – Adds umami flavor to the broth.
  • Flour – To thicken the broth, you can use chickpea flour or a gluten-free mix of your choice.
  • Water/Stock and Orange Juice – This is the liquid that makes the sauce and also cooks the noodles.
  • Noodles – Use ramen or thin udon noodles in this recipe.
  • Garnish – Cilantro, green or red onion, and lime juice finish off this biriya ramen.

advice

  • Make sure the noodles are cooked just al dente. They will continue to cook some in the hot broth and you don’t want them to become mushy.
  • As you add the tomato paste and flour, make sure you stir constantly so nothing burns and sticks to the bottom of the pan.
  • After adding the broth to the flour mixture, stir constantly to get rid of lumps. You can use the back of a fork to break up any lumps, as well.
