This Red Curry Tofu Cabbage Ramen Noodles recipe is the perfect, easy weeknight dinner! Crumbled tofu and shredded green cabbage are sautéd in a mild red curry soy sauce then tossed with gluten-free ramen noodles for the best 30 minute meal.
Ingredients
16 oz extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
4 cups green cabbage, shredded
3 gluten-free ramen noodle cakes
1 tablespoon sesame oil
green onions, sliced for garnish
Red Curry Soy Sauce
2 teaspoons red curry paste (gluten-free)
1/4 cup liquid aminos/Tamari soy sauce (gluten-free)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Make the red curry soy sauce first. Whisk together all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup.
- Next, crumble the tofu in a medium-sized bowl with your hands. Add 3 tablespoons of the red curry sauce to the bowl with the tofu and stir to coat the tofu in the sauce. Let the tofu marinate while you boil a pot of water and shred the cabbage.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Wash and shred the cabbage in thin strips/pieces and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and then add the tofu to the skillet. Toss occasionally to allow for even cooking.
- Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions. While those are cooking, add the cabbage to the skillet with the tofu. Toss and let it saute until the noodles are done.
- Drain and rinse the noodles. When the tofu is starting to look golden and crispy, add the rest of the sauce to the skillet and then toss in the noodles. Cook an additional 5 minutes or so and then serve immediately. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
READ THE BLOG POST FOR RECIPE TIPS!
I like to purchase pre-pressed tofu to save on meal prep time.
If the ramen noodles are too dry for your liking, you can double the sauce or add a little bit more sesame oil/soy sauce.
If the noodles are done cooking before the tofu looks nice a crispy, simply rinse the noodles with water to keep them from sticking together until you are ready to add them into the skillet.
